Description
Agreen Horr and co-authors measured lung perfusion where clots strike in two thousand twenty-six. A lung clot can starve tissue until it dies. Standard clot scans show anatomy, not blood flow. Spectral CT adds iodine maps of perfusion. Thirty-one patients had clots with tissue death. Matched controls had neither finding.
Peripheral iodine levels were measured in set zones. Tiny subsegmental clots entered the analysis. Low flow zones aligned with the dead tissue. The link between small clots and infarction sharpened. Radiologists can grade severity beyond clot size. Treatment urgency may follow perfusion, not anatomy alone. The study validates spectral imaging's extra layer.
