Question: Among children with possible pulmonary emboli, does the addition of 2-dimensional reconstructed images to routine axial views aid radiologists in assessing computed tomography scans?
Question type: Diagnosis
Study design: Retrospective chart and image review
Investigators from several Boston medical centers sought to determine whether the addition of two-dimensional reconstructed images (especially in sagittal and coronal planes) to routine axial views aided radiologists in assessing computed tomography (CT) scans performed in children/adolescents for possible pulmonary emboli (PE).
