NCT ID NCT04022915
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a special PET scan tracer to see if it can find fresh blood clots in people with pulmonary embolism (PE) or deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Six adults with confirmed clots received the tracer within 72 hours of diagnosis. The goal was to compare the PET images with standard CT scans and ultrasounds to improve clot detection.
