Your Radiologist Explains CT of the Chest
A pulmonary embolus (blood clot in the lung) within a pulmonary artery. The artery is white (because of high-density intravenous contrast), and the PE (arrow) is a dark glob within the artery. PA = main Pulmonary Artery L = Lungs (appear dark compared to the rest of the body because the air in lungs allows the xrays to pass through easily) A = Aorta (the major artery leaving the heart)
