Our Pulmonary Embolism Service provides imaging to help doctors visualize blood vessels in the lungs, crucial for detecting blood clots, the primary cause of pulmonary embolism. This serious condition occurs when a clot blocks a pulmonary artery, causing symptoms like shortness of breath and chest pain, and can be life-threatening if untreated.

We offer multi-angle images that may enable doctors to see the lungs and clots clearly, improving diagnostic accuracy and treatment decisions. Techniques such as Maximum Intensity Projections (MIPs), 4-Chamber View, and SAX batch imaging enhance vascular clarity. Right-heart strain, a significant factor in patient outcomes, is assessed using these methods to demonstrate pulmonary artery vessels and visualize clot burden.
