First seen Jan 05, 2026 · Last updated Apr 29, 2026 · Updated 22 times
Summary
This study tested whether a special PET/CT scan (V/Q PET/CT) can accurately diagnose pulmonary embolism (a blood clot in the lungs) compared to the standard CT scan. About 100 adults with suspected first-time clots took part. The goal was to see if the new scan is as good or better at finding clots, potentially offering a safer option without contrast dye.
