Abstract		Pulmonary embolism presents serious medical problems in most health systems either in developed or undeveloped countries. Its importance is due to high morbidity and mortality and because of high costs that are linked to diagnostics and therapy. Diagnostics of pulmonary embolism is often difficult, because clinical signs of the disease are in many cases unspecific. In the article, we present diagnostic methods and tools that are most often used in detection of pulmonary embolism, and the experience we have at our institution with the scintigraphic diagnostics of this disease.
Summary		Pljučna embolija predstavlja enega izmed pomembnih problemov v zdravstvenih sistemih tako v razvitem kot v nerazvitem delu sveta. Posebej pomembna je zaradi velike obolevnosti in smrtnosti, kot tudi zaradi visokih stroškov, ki so povezani z diagnostiko in zdravljenjem. Diagnostika pljučne embolije je večkrat težavna, saj so simptomi bolezni pogosto nespecifični. V pričujočem prispevku so prikazane najpogostejše diagnostične metode, ki jih uporabljamo pri odkrivanju pljučne embolije ter izkušnje, ki jih imamo v naši ustanovi z diagnostiko te bolezni, še posebej s scintigrafsko diagnostiko pljučne embolije.
