    Acute pulmonary embolism (APE) has a high mortality rate, necessitating fast and accurate diagnosis using CT pulmonary angiogram (CTPA).

  • 2

    Radiomics feature extraction from CTPA images can enhance the prediction of clinical outcomes, including 30-day mortality in APE patients.

  • 3

    Texture features of the thrombus area correlate with patient blood markers and can distinguish between healthy individuals and APE patients.

  • 4

    The study utilized a dataset of 86 CT scans, focusing on manual segmentation and radiomics analysis to predict mortality and troponin levels.

  • 5

    Radiomics shows promise for personalized medicine by improving diagnosis and treatment planning for various medical conditions, including APE.
