New scan cuts radiation risk for lifelong HHT monitoring

NCT ID NCT04108052

Summary

This study tested a new, ultra-low-dose chest CT scan for people with Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia (HHT). HHT patients need regular chest scans to find dangerous lung blood vessel malformations that can cause strokes. Researchers compared this new, lower-radiation scan to the standard scan to see if it was just as good at finding these problems.
