Can mri be performed instead ctpa
Hello,
My doctor have recommended Ctpa to rule out PR as I have left chest and upper back pain..my ecg,echo,tmt are normal.
I already had 3 Ct scan in this year during covid times with high ddimer,so don't want to expose to further radiation now.
Please can someone confirm if contrast mri of lungs is possible instead of ctpa to rule out PE
