    Of the 152 patients, 59 (39 %) received a final diagnosis of PE, and 19 (32 %) had associated cardiopulmonary diseases such as pneumonia, COPD, or left heart failure. PSPECT correctly identified 53 (90 %) of the 59 patients with PE. The specificity was 88 of 93 (95 %). None of the PSPECT images...
