CT angio or spiral CT is the best of choice if V/Q is equivocal or negative
if V/Q scan is equivocal
first check the legs (Pressure US)
if +ve--->its PE
If -ve
then an ARTERIOGRAPHY, not CT.
CT is good for mesenteric occlusions.

Great classic q Dr. Virgo.. But as I remember spiral CT for PE may not pick up distal thromoemboli..

In PE u will go for spiral CT if baseline Xray is abnormal and V/Q scan is equivocal or negative, but the clinical findings suggest PE.
