Proximal Pulmonary Fat Embolism on Non-Contrast Chest CT.
We report in this clinical case a proximal pulmonary fat embolism detected on unenhanced chest computed tomography (CT) responsible for a recovered cardiac arrest during a left total hip arthroplasty for a femoral neck fracture. This observation underscores the diagnostic value of integrating a non-contrast phase in chest CT in the postoperative context of orthopedic surgery, as it ensures accurate identification of the fatty nature of pulmonary arterial thrombi and thereby contributes to improved diagnostic accuracy and differential diagnosis.

期刊介绍:
Diagnostics (ISSN 2075-4418) is an international scholarly open access journal on medical diagnostics. It publishes original research articles, reviews, communications and short notes on the research and development of medical diagnostics. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical research in as much detail as possible. Full experimental and/or methodological details must be provided for research articles.
