A member asked:
Is a ct scan with contrast accurate for locating a blood clot in my chest? my results showed normal but my d dimer was elevated.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The sensitivity: of CT(tailored for PE) for detecting PE is 80-90%. If the clinical probability of PE is high, and the CT is negative, further workup may be necessary.
