Pulmonary embolism has the high rate of attack,errorneous diagnosis and death. Mostly used diagnosis without cut is mainly Geneva score,Wells score,electrocardiogram( ECG) ,chest X-ray, D-dimer concentration blood gas analysis,heart-echocardiograph,computed tomographic pulmonary angiography( CTPA) ,magnetic resonance angiography( MRA) ,pulmonary perfusion/ventilation imaaging and so on. Examination with cut is mainy pulmonary angiography. The accurary in CTPA on pulmonary embolism of different parts( including the main pulmonary artery,pulmonary lobe and segmentectory) is 96% ,and the idiosyncrasy is 92% . CTPA is gradually accepted as the most effective no-cut diagnosis, which has replaced pulmonary angiography.
