The Qanadli score for pulmonary embolism is an important radiological scoring system used in medical imaging to assess the severity of pulmonary embolism (PE) based on computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA). Pulmonary embolism is a potentially life-threatening condition caused by blood clots blocking the pulmonary arteries in the lungs. The Qanadli score helps clinicians estimate … Read more
Massive pulmonary embolism (PE) is a severe form of pulmonary embolism where a large clot obstructs the main pulmonary artery or its major branches. This blockage leads to a critical reduction in blood oxygenation and puts extreme strain on the heart. Unlike smaller pulmonary embolisms, the massive type is defined by its hemodynamic instability, meaning … Read more
Non thrombotic pulmonary embolism is a less familiar but clinically important condition in which materials other than blood clots obstruct the pulmonary arteries. While most people associate pulmonary embolism with thrombosis, many different substances can enter the bloodstream and travel to the lungs. Understanding how these emboli form, how they affect the respiratory system, and … Read more
