2. FIGURE 1
Initial computed tomographic pulmonary angiogram of the chest. Left, Embolized glue material is not visible at window settings used routinely for computed tomographic pulmonary angiography. Right, Embolized glue in the pulmonary artery branches (arrow) is visible at window settings appropriate for evaluating bone or other high-attenuation material.

3. FIGURE 2
Computed tomographic venogram. Left, Low-attenuation infarction (arrows) is seen in an enlarged spleen, along with ascites and pleural effusions; no inferior vena cava thrombus is seen. Right, High-attenuation or opaque material (arrow) consistent with embolized cyanoacrylate is seen in branches of the pulmonary arteries of the right lower lobe of the lung.
