Episode description
**Update Question 8:
Uptodate: "While in the past V/Q scan was the preferred mode for imaging patients with suspected PE (during pregnancy), we now use CTPA as the primary imaging modality. This preference is based upon the practical rationale that CTPA is more readily available than V/Q scanning, may provide an alternate diagnosis in 12 to 13% of cases, is associated with lower doses of radiation than in the past and has better interobserver agreement for radiologists than nuclear scans."
