Summary
This study looked at whether an ultra-low dose CT scan can spot lung blood vessel malformations (PAVMs) in people with HHT as well as a standard low-dose CT scan, but with far less radiation. 45 patients with HHT had both scans, and researchers compared how often each correctly found PAVMs. The goal is to make lifelong monitoring safer by reducing radiation exposure.
