A rare case of right and left pulmonary artery dissections on 64-slice multidetector computed tomography.

abstract：:Computed tomographic pulmonary angiography has become the diagnostic procedure of choice in patients suspected of having a pulmonary embolus. However, intrapulmonary shunting of blood in a variety of pathologic conditions can cause suboptimal opacification of the pulmonary arterial circulation and result in a suboptim...
