ters is a promising approach."

Pulmonary Embolism (PE) is a sudden blood clot or blockage in a lung artery and is a serious condition. At least 100,000 cases of PE occur each year in the United States, according to the National Institutes of Health. PE is the third most common cause of death in hospitalized patients, and if left untreated, kills about 30 percent of patients who have it. Most of those who die do so within the first few hours of the event. CT imaging is often used in the emergency department setting to quickly identify the presence of life-threatening disorders like PE, making efficiency important in quickly and accurately diagnosing the condition. CT has a high specificity and sensitivity in ruling out PE, and researchers in a 2005 meta-analysis (JAMA 2005; 293:2012-17) found that the negative predictive value of a CT angiography of the pulmonary arteries was 99.4%.
