3D imaging to diagnose and monitor blood clots in lungs
Part of Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a new imaging method called 3D-EIT (a safe, non-invasive electrical scan) to diagnose and track pulmonary embolism—dangerous blood clots in the lungs. If you've just been diagnosed with your first blood clot via CT scan, this trial may help doctors better understand and monitor your condition.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This research study tests a special chest CT scan to help diagnose acute pulmonary embolism—a blood clot that suddenly blocks blood flow in your lungs. You may qualify if you're already getting a CT scan for suspected lung clots and meet basic health requirements.
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 trial is testing if repeated imaging can help monitor blood clots in the lungs (pulmonary embolism) over time. It may help doctors know how well treatment is working and if further care is needed.
This study tests a new, non-invasive imaging method called pulsatile electrical impedance tomography (EIT) to help diagnose and monitor acute pulmonary embolism (blood clots in the lungs). It may provide a faster or safer way to detect clots compared to standard CT scans, especially for patients who cannot have contrast dye.
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 tests a new 3D imaging method that shows how well your lungs are being ventilated (aired), compared to a standard CT scan. It may help doctors monitor breathing more safely and in real time, especially in the ICU.
