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 x-rays to pass through easily)
A = Aorta (the major artery leaving the heart)
