Overview
More than 90% of all Pulmonary Embolism arise from thrombi within the large deep veins of the legs, typically the popliteal vein and the larger veins above it. Since Pulmonary embolism and deep vein thrombosis are different spectrum of the same disease, CT venography of the pelvis and lower extremities is often incorporated into the CT angiography PE protocol to identify or exclude concurrent deep venous thrombosis.
