Summary

This study aims to develop a new radioactive tracer for PET scans that can directly detect active blood clots in veins. Current methods look for blockages indirectly, but this tracer targets a protein found in fresh clots. Researchers will test the tracer on blood samples from 10 healthy adult volunteers to see how well it binds to clots. If successful, this could lead to faster and more accurate diagnosis of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism.
