New Radiation-Free lung scanner could transform monitoring of blood clot surgery
NCT ID NCT07577700
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is testing whether a bedside imaging technique called electrical impedance tomography (EIT) can reliably measure blood flow in the lungs of patients with chronic blood clots. Thirty-six people scheduled for surgery to remove these clots will be monitored with EIT before and after the procedure. The goal is to see if EIT can provide useful information about lung blood flow without radiation or invasive procedures, potentially offering a safer way to track recovery.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a safer, bedside way to monitor lung blood flow in patients with chronic blood clots, reducing the need for radiation-based scans.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study (36 people) testing a diagnostic tool, not a treatment. It may not prove EIT is reliable enough for routine use, and results may not apply to all patients.
