Abstract
Pulmonary embolism (PE), defined as blockage of the pulmonary arteries, is a common and serious condition that requires accurate diagnosis and standardized reporting. Noninvasive imaging is well established for the diagnosis and management of PE and is incorporated into multiple societal guidelines. However, specific technical recommendations for the optimal interpretation and standardized reporting of CT and MR angiography remain absent. Diagnostic imaging is used to identify the presence or absence of PE and to risk-stratify patients. Evolving treatment options can be considered once an acute clot is identified, the patient's status is defined, and the patient is referred for appropriate treatment in a timely manner. Patient management for PE often involves multiple care teams, and clear and consistent communication between care teams is critical to patient care. The goal of the Pulmonary Embolism Reporting and Data System (PE-RADS) is twofold:
