Allergy
Allergies, also known as allergic diseases, are a number of conditions caused by hypersensitivity of the immune system to typically harmless substances in the environment.

Aorta
The aorta is the main artery in the human body, originating from the left ventricle of the heart and extending down to the abdomen, where it splits into two smaller arteries (the common iliac arteries).

Chest radiograph
A chest radiograph, colloquially called a chest X-ray (CXR), or chest film, is a projection radiograph of the chest used to diagnose conditions affecting the chest, its contents, and nearby structures.

Computed tomography angiography
Computed tomography angiography (also called CT angiography or CTA) is a computed tomography technique used to visualize arterial and venous vessels throughout the body.

Contrast agent
A contrast agent (or contrast medium) is a substance used to increase the contrast of structures or fluids within the body in medical imaging.

Contrast CT
Contrast CT is X-ray computed tomography (CT) using radiocontrast.
New!!: CT pulmonary angiogram and Contrast CT · See more »
Contrast-induced nephropathy
Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is a form of kidney damage in which there has been recent exposure to medical imaging contrast material without another clear cause for the acute kidney injury.

CT scan
A CT scan, also known as computed tomography scan, makes use of computer-processed combinations of many X-ray measurements taken from different angles to produce cross-sectional (tomographic) images (virtual "slices") of specific areas of a scanned object, allowing the user to see inside the object without cutting.

D-dimer
D-dimer (or D dimer) is a fibrin degradation product (or FDP), a small protein fragment present in the blood after a blood clot is degraded by fibrinolysis.
New!!: CT pulmonary angiogram and D-dimer · See more »
Deep vein thrombosis
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), is the formation of a blood clot in a deep vein, most commonly the legs.
New!!: CT pulmonary angiogram and Deep vein thrombosis · See more »
Embolism
An embolism is the lodging of an embolus, a blockage-causing piece of material, inside a blood vessel.
New!!: CT pulmonary angiogram and Embolism · See more »
Fat
Fat is one of the three main macronutrients, along with carbohydrate and protein.

Gold standard (test)
In medicine and statistics, gold standard test is usually diagnostic test or benchmark that is the best available under reasonable conditions.

Intravenous therapy
Intravenous therapy (IV) is a therapy that delivers liquid substances directly into a vein (intra- + ven- + -ous).
New!!: CT pulmonary angiogram and Intravenous therapy · See more »
Iodinated contrast
Iodinated contrast is a form of intravenous radiocontrast (radiographic dye) containing iodine, which enhances the visibility of vascular structures and organs during radiographic procedures.
New!!: CT pulmonary angiogram and Iodinated contrast · See more »
Ionizing radiation
Ionizing radiation (ionising radiation) is radiation that carries enough energy to liberate electrons from atoms or molecules, thereby ionizing them.
New!!: CT pulmonary angiogram and Ionizing radiation · See more »
Kidney failure
Kidney failure, also known as end-stage kidney disease, is a medical condition in which the kidneys no longer work.
New!!: CT pulmonary angiogram and Kidney failure · See more »
Massachusetts General Hospital
Massachusetts General Hospital (Mass General or MGH) is the original and largest teaching hospital of Harvard Medical School and a biomedical research facility located in the West End neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts.

Oxygen
Oxygen is a chemical element with symbol O and atomic number 8.
New!!: CT pulmonary angiogram and Oxygen · See more »
Pregnancy
Pregnancy, also known as gestation, is the time during which one or more offspring develops inside a woman.
New!!: CT pulmonary angiogram and Pregnancy · See more »
Pulmonary angiography
Pulmonary angiography (or pulmonary arteriography) is medical fluoroscopic procedure used to visualize the pulmonary arteries and much less frequently, the pulmonary veins.
New!!: CT pulmonary angiogram and Pulmonary angiography · See more »
Pulmonary artery
A pulmonary artery is an artery in the pulmonary circulation that carries deoxygenated blood from the right side of the heart to the lungs.
New!!: CT pulmonary angiogram and Pulmonary artery · See more »
Pulmonary embolism
Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a blockage of an artery in the lungs by a substance that has moved from elsewhere in the body through the bloodstream (embolism).
New!!: CT pulmonary angiogram and Pulmonary embolism · See more »
Radionuclide
A radionuclide (radioactive nuclide, radioisotope or radioactive isotope) is an atom that has excess nuclear energy, making it unstable.
New!!: CT pulmonary angiogram and Radionuclide · See more »
State of the art
State of the art (sometimes cutting edge) refers to the highest level of general development, as of a device, technique, or scientific field achieved at a particular time.
New!!: CT pulmonary angiogram and State of the art · See more »
Thyroid
The thyroid gland, or simply the thyroid, is an endocrine gland in the neck, consisting of two lobes connected by an isthmus.
New!!: CT pulmonary angiogram and Thyroid · See more »
Ventilation/perfusion scan
A ventilation/perfusion lung scan, also called a V/Q lung scan, is a type of medical imaging using scintigraphy and medical isotopes to evaluate the circulation of air and blood within a patient's lungs, in order to determine the ventilation/perfusion ratio.
