Diagnostic test accuracy of imaging modalities for adults with acute pulmonary embolism: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objectives: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the current literature on diagnostic test accuracy (DTA) of imaging modalities for adults with acute pulmonary embolism (APE).

Background: Medical imaging plays an integral role in evaluating and managing those with APE. Guidance for imaging modality use for APE diagnosis varies due to a lack of clinical standardisation.
