CT Angio Scan
A CT angio scan is quite similar to a V/Q scan, but it is more common in recent times. In fact, this is one of the most effective methods to diagnose and identify a pulmonary embolism. Your doctor will inject a dye intravenously in advance so that he or she can visualize the blood flow more clearly in your lungs’ arteries during the scan. By doing this, a blockage can be easily detected with the exact size or location. A CT angio scan can confirm the presence of a pulmonary embolism. Thus, treatment would start right after this procedure. [4]
