Using a special PET/CT scan to find blood clots
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have a suspected or confirmed blood clot (based on MRI, CT, tumor markers, or biopsy).
- Your doctor has scheduled you for a special PET/CT scan that uses a tracer to detect blood clots.
- You (or your legal representative) can give written permission to join the study.

This trial is testing whether a special scan (beta-amyloid PET/CT) can help detect abnormal protein clumps in the brain that are linked to certain diseases, including cancer. The scan might help doctors better understand and track these conditions.
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.
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.
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 uses a special type of MRI to look for tiny blood clots in the heart arteries that may have caused a heart attack even when standard tests show no major blockages. It aims to better understand the cause of heart attacks in people with this uncommon pattern.
This trial tests an experimental PET imaging drug, called 68Ga-GP-01, to see if it can help show tumors and any spread of the cancer. The study will give you the imaging drug, then take a PET/CT scan. You may join if you have a solid tumor and are scheduled for surgery or a laparoscopic exploration to confirm the cancer.
