Summary

This study looked at whether a new ultra-low dose CT scanner can find lung blood vessel malformations in people with HHT (a genetic disorder) as accurately as a standard low-dose CT, but with far less radiation. 45 patients were scanned with both methods. The goal is to reduce radiation exposure from repeated lifetime scans while still catching dangerous malformations that can cause strokes.
