Abstract

The two most important signs of pulmonary embolism (PE) in a non-contrast CT scan include wedge-shaped sub-pleural opacity surrounded by an air-space consolidation, along with a ground-glass opacity in the center consistent with pulmonary infarction, also known as the reverse halo sign and the hyperdense lumen sign. © 2025 The Author(s).
