Pulmonary embolism is a common and potentially fatal pathological condition. Imaging plays a crucial role in the diagnosis and differentiation of the causes of pulmonary embolus. Here we present typical imaging findings associated with both thrombotic and nonthrombotic pulmonary emboli, as well as their potential mimickers.
