Abstract
The presence of high-density emboli in the pulmonary artery on non-enhanced computed tomography (CT) has high diagnostic performance for acute central pulmonary thromboembolism. Acute pulmonary thromboembolism is usually diagnosed by contrast-enhanced CT. However, it may be possible to achieve early diagnosis by identifying characteristic findings on non-enhanced CT.
