Abstract

Background: Considering the importance of using more appropriate imaging technique for accurate DIAGNOSIS of pulmonarythromboembolism (PTE) with less side effects, we aimed to evaluate the quality of pulmonary 64-multidetector computedtomographic (MDCT) angiography in pregnant and POSTPARTUM women with suspected PTE in Isfahan. Materials and Methods: In this descriptive study, radiological findings of pregnant and POSTPARTUM women with suspected PTE who underwent pulmonary64-MDCT angiography were evaluated. Prevalence of PTE in pregnant and POSTPARTUM women, mean of pulmonary arteries densityfor right and left pulmonary arteries, and their lobar and segmental branches, diagnostic quality of the pulmonary arteries density andtheir scoring, frequency of diagnostic and nondiagnostic images, mean of radiation dose and mean of bolus time, and the correlationbetween the quality of the vascular density with the peak density of the pulmonary artery were determined.Results: In this study, 44 pregnant and POSTPARTUM women with suspected PTE were selected. The overall prevalence of PTE was 9.1% (4.44). PTE wasdiagnosed in 1 (3.7%) pregnant and 3 (17.5%) POSTPARTUM women (P=0.14). Mean density of pulmonary trunk was 278.81 ± 108.16Hounsfield unit (HU) and 308.41 ± 59.30 HU in pregnant and POSTPARTUM women, respectively. Mean of bolus timing, kilovoltagepeak (kVp), tube current, and dose length product (DLP) were 12.53 ± 2.36 s, 105.22 ± 45.71 milliamperage (MA), 382.9 ± 173.5MA, and 317.98 ± 78.92 mGy/cm, respectively. The rate of nondiagnostic images was 4.5%.Conclusion: Our findings indicatedthat pulmonary 64-MDCT angiography is an appropriate imaging method for diagnosing PTE in pregnant and POSTPARTUM womenwith suspected PTE. It seems that, using fast CT systems (64-MDCT), in accordance with high flow rate, high contrast mediumconcentration and low kVp could explain the obtained appropriate quality of images more efficiently than computed tomographicpulmonary angiography (CTPA).
