Landmark Clinical Trials

Trials assessing the diagnosis

1. PIOPED (Prospective Investigation in Pulmonary Embolism Diagnosis) (1989).[1]

  • Purpose : To evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of two major, widely used technologies, radionuclear imaging (ventilation-perfusion scanning) and pulmonary angiography, for the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism.

2. PIOPED II (Prospective Investigation in Pulmonary Embolism Diagnosis II) (2002).
