Could a simple saline test replace scans for lung clots?
NCT ID NCT07190079
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 12, 2026 · Updated 28 times
Summary
This study tests a new bedside method using saline contrast and electrical impedance tomography (EIT) to diagnose acute pulmonary embolism (blood clots in the lungs). It compares this method to the standard CT scan (CTPA) in 343 adults with suspected clots. The goal is to see if the EIT method is accurate enough to be used at the bedside, potentially reducing the need for radiation and contrast dye from CT scans.
