Abstract
The radiation dose of an investigation using multidetector spiral computed tomography (MDCT) with contrast medium is 5–8 mS, which equates to a risk of radiation cancer of 1:103–1:104 (1). The article does not mention that when using MDCT, a pulmonary embolism is actually found in only 20–32% of patients in whom this is suspected.
