Fig. 6 76-year-old man with acute dyspnea and hypotension after
sigmoid colectomy. CT scan shows Swan-Ganz catheter (black arrow) in
right main pulmonary artery, with adjacent streak artifact. Note
low-attenuation abnormality posterior to right main pulmonary artery
(white arrow), which may represent pulmonary embolism or
beam-hardening artifact from Swan-Ganz catheter. Moderate-sized bilateral
pleural effusions with adjacent atelectasis are also seen.
