Depends on how obtai: To perform a CT pulmonary angiogram, you actually have to get scanned twice - once without dye, once with. A "regular" chest CT is only performed once. So, you should get some information about the lungs itself (masses, nodes, lesions, etc.) from a pulmonary angiogram CT unless it was obtained improperly or under an unusual protocol. Note, also, that even a CT can miss small nodes, lesions, masses

It provides: More information than a non contrast chest CT. All of the things you mentioned can be evaluated.
