    Abstract

    This thesis investigates the feasibility of low-dose multi-slice CT pulmonary angiography in the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism based on experiments on a 3D printed realistic pulmonary artery model and patient data analysis. The research findings show that significant dose reductions in radiation dose and contrast medium have been achieved using low-dose CT pulmonary angiography protocols without affecting diagnostic image quality.
