To assess the capacity of dynamic flat-panel detector imaging without the use of contrast media to detect pulmonary embolism (PE) based on temporal changes in radiographic lung density during cardiac beating. Sequential chest radiographs of six pigs were acquired using a dynamic flat-panel detector...
