Bloody cough negative chest xray and d dimer(.39 mg/l) and left side chest pain. accurate enough to rule out pe?

Most likely but: Ct angiography is pretty much gold standard....Diner being normal is very very reassuring.

No: The only way to rule out pe is pulmonary angiogram (conventional or more common these days is ct). A normal VQ scan is almost as good as a normal angiogram.
