New CT scanner could spot hidden lung clots missed by standard scans

NCT ID NCT07575503

First seen May 14, 2026 · Last updated May 14, 2026

Summary

This study compares a new type of CT scanner (photon-counting) with a standard one to see if it can better detect very small blood clots in the lungs, called subsegmental pulmonary embolism. About 696 adults with suspected clots will get both scans. The goal is to see if the new scanner finds more of these tiny clots and provides clearer images to help doctors make better treatment decisions.
