New study aims to find best way to spot dangerous lung clots
NCT ID NCT07566858
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at 50 adults with acute pulmonary embolism (a blood clot in the lungs) to compare different methods used to diagnose and predict outcomes. Researchers will analyze clinical scores, lab tests, and CT scans from patients in various hospital departments. The goal is to find the most reliable tools for early detection and risk assessment. This is an observational study, meaning no new treatments are tested.
