New Radiation-Free imaging method could help monitor lung surgery patients

NCT ID NCT07577700

First seen May 13, 2026 · Last updated May 13, 2026

Summary

This study looks at whether a non-invasive, radiation-free bedside tool called electrical impedance tomography (EIT) can reliably measure blood flow in the lungs of people undergoing surgery to remove old blood clots. About 36 adults with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) will be monitored with EIT before and after their operation. The results will be compared with standard scans to see if EIT could become a simple, safe way to track lung function after surgery.
