Summary
Follow-up and angiography together suggest pulmonary embolism occurred among 12% of patients with low-probability scans, and clinical assessment combined with the ventilation/perfusion scan established the diagnosis or exclusion of pulmonary emblism only for a minority of patients--those with clear and concordant clinical and ventilation-perfusions scan findings.
