Ct data: Without more information can't be sure what is being considered in your case . Best to directly ask your doctor what is going on. We often discuss cases to get input from colleagues.

More Tests: A specialized CT scan of the chest can be used to look for recent blood clots in the pulmonary arteries. If you have old blood clots they may not show up on a CT and a V/Q scan may be needed to look for a disease called CTEPH. Finally, a CT scan cannot be used to rule out pulmonary hypertension.
