A member asked:
Would a cta scan without contrast show a pe? or would a vq scan be better ? i have severe allergy to contrast and would like to avoid radiation exposure as much as possible?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
VQ: A V/ Q scan is a good alternative. A virtual consult may be helpful to review the options. Watch for shortness of breath and chest pressure.
