This study confirms that subsegmental emboli are a necessary but not sufficient condition for the development of PI. Peripheral iodine concentration is a sensitive marker for detecting perfusion changes and shows a significant decrease from an early stage. The fact that no infarction was detected in the absence of a subsegmental embolus underlines the central role of SSE in the pathophysiology of PI. At the same time, the observation that not every SSE leads to infarction suggests potential protective mechanisms within the lung.
