Dr. Daro Publishes Article on PE Detected by CTA

Ryan Daro, MD, a second-year EM resident, is a co-author of the article titled "Incidence of Pulmonary Emboli on Chest Computed Tomography Angiography Based Upon Referral Patterns," published in the June issue of Emergency Radiology. Based on a review of 6400 charts, the authors found no difference in the incidence of PE in CTA studies requested by residents, attendings, or physician extenders. The highest incidence was in studies requested from inpatient settings. Their article can be read at this address: http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2Fs10140-016-1391-4
