Summary
This study tested a new CT scan method that creates a map of blood flow in the lungs to diagnose pulmonary embolism (blood clots). It compared this method to the standard SPECT scan in 30 patients. The goal was to see if the new CT technique could accurately detect clots while reducing the need for multiple tests and lowering risks from treatment.
