NCT ID NCT03579849
First seen Jan 04, 2026 · Last updated Apr 29, 2026 · Updated 16 times
Summary
This study tested a new CT scan method to see if it can find blood clots in the lungs as well as the standard SPECT scan. The new method uses a single CT scan to create a map of blood flow, potentially giving doctors both the clot location and its effect on lung function. 30 adults with confirmed clots took part. The goal was to see if this new technique is accurate enough to replace the current two-step approach.
