The role of multi-detector computer tomography in diagnostic of venous thromboembolism

Abstract

The venous thromboembolism comprising thrombosis of deep veins and thromboembolism of pulmonary artery remains one of main problems of modern medicine. The multi-detector computer tomography - angiopulmonography is the most effective technique of diagnostic of thromboembolism of pulmonary artery and as appropriate it can be amplified with indirect multi-detector computer tomography - venography of pelvic and abdominal veins which visualization can be complicated under ultrasound examination. The article considers characteristics of application of mentioned above techniques of radiodiagnostics on suspicion on venous thromboembolism. The advantages, limitations and technical difficulties of these techniques are considered too.
