Detecting Pulmonary Embolism from Computed Tomography Using Convolutional Neural Network [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 The clinical symptoms of pulmonary embolism (PE) are very diverse and non-specific, which makes it difficult to diagnose. In addition, pulmonary embolism has multiple triggers and is one of the major causes of vascular death. Therefore, if it can be detected and treated quickly, it can significantly reduce the risk of death in hospitalized patients. In

Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2014 Paradoxical embolism is an important clinical entity among patients with venous thromboembolism in the presence of intracardiac or pulmonary shunts. The clinical presentation is diverse and potentially life-threatening. Although the serious nature and complications of paradoxical embolism are recognized, the disease entity is still rarely considered ...
