AI breakthrough allows doctors to ‘see’ dangerous blood clots forming
New tech could replace invasive procedures with simple blood tests
Scientists at the University of Tokyo have discovered a non-invasive way to observe clotting activity in blood as it occurs. (iStock)
Traditional methods of monitoring platelet activity often rely on indirect measurements or invasive procedures, according to the researchers. (iStock)
In studies of the tool's effectiveness, a regular blood test from the arm showed nearly the same results as blood taken directly from the heart's arteries. (iStock)
"What we found is that just taking a regular blood sample from a vein in the arm can still provide meaningful information about platelet activity in the arteries." (iStock)
