PET scan to detect active blood clots
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses a special PET scan to see if it can detect active blood clots. It is looking for healthy volunteers to help test the imaging method, not people who already have a clot.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 or older
- You must be a healthy person (not a patient with a blood clot)
- You cannot have a known clotting disorder (like thrombophilia) or active cancer
- You cannot have any chronic (long-term) health condition
- You cannot be taking any blood thinners or other long-term medications

This study follows adults who may have a blood clot in the lung (pulmonary embolism) or leg (deep vein thrombosis), or who were found to have a clot by chance. It aims to improve how doctors diagnose, manage, and estimate risk, which may lead to better, more tailored care for you.
This study tests how well a scoring system (CLOVER) can detect undiagnosed cancer in people who have had a blood clot (deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism). Researchers want to see if the score can predict hidden cancer, which may lead to earlier treatment.
This study uses a special PET/CT scan to see blood clots in the body. The scan uses a tracer that sticks to a protein on blood clots, which might help doctors find clots that other scans miss.
This Phase 1 study uses a PET scan to detect blood clots (thrombosis) in specific groups of people. It’s testing how well the scan can find clots and how it should be timed with other heart or illness tests.
This study tests a new type of CT scan (photon-counting CT) to see if it's better at finding small blood clots in the lungs. If you have symptoms like sudden shortness of breath, chest pain, or fainting and doctors suspect a blood clot, this trial may help confirm the diagnosis with clearer images.
This study looks at how blood clots form and contribute to an acute ischemic (clot-related) stroke. It uses PET-CT scanning to better understand the process and may help improve how future stroke treatments are targeted.
