Info

Filling defects, likely thromboemboli, are demonstrated within both pulmonary arteries.
The right ventricle is enlarged with bowing of the interventricular septum towards the left ventricle reflective of right ventricular strain.
Minimal pericardial effusion is seen.
Incidentally, there are hepatic cysts.
Case Discussion
This is a case of pulmonary thromboembolism with right ventricular strain demonstrated on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
