The spiral computed tomography angiogram obtained with highly concentrated contrast material and high flow technique showed multiple pulmonary emboli that subtotally occluded the right upper lobar pulmonary artery (*) and the left lingular artery (**). The left lower lobar pulmonary artery was also partially occluded (***).

Multiple emboli were noted, causing a subtotal occlusion of the distal segment of the right pulmonary artery (Figure 1).
The spiral computed tomography angiogram obtained with highly concentrated contrast material and high flow technique showed multiple pulmonary emboli that partially occluded the right lower lobar pulmonary artery (*), the right lower lobar superior/apical segment (S6), and the left lower lobar anteromedial segment (S7-8) (***).

The left pulmonary artery was also partially occluded (Figure 2).
The spiral computed tomography angiogram obtained with highly concentrated contrast material and high flow technique showed that the contrast material filled the right pulmonary arterial system, and there was no embolus as previously documented in Figure 2.

A computed tomographic pulmonary angiography ordered two months after her discharge showed complete resolution of the previously documented PE in the pulmonary arterial system (Figure 3).
