First seen Mar 29, 2026 · Last updated Jun 13, 2026 · Updated 15 times
Summary
This study looked at whether using a VQ scan (which doesn't use kidney-harming dye) instead of a CT scan can prevent acute kidney injury in emergency patients being checked for lung clots. About 253 adults at risk for kidney problems were enrolled. The trial was terminated early, so results are limited.
