Doctors map lungs in 3D to watch blood clots dissolve

NCT ID NCT04113421

Summary

This study aimed to understand how standard blood-thinning medication affects lung blood vessels after a serious lung clot (pulmonary embolism). Researchers used a special 3D imaging technique on standard CT scans from 10 hospitalized patients, taken right after diagnosis and again 48 hours later. The goal was to measure changes in blood flow and heart chamber size to learn how the body responds to this common treatment.
