In the United States, syphilis rates have been increasing at an alarming rate since 2000, and between 2018-2022 cases increased by nearly 80%. Knowing the infectious status of a patient changes acute and secondary stroke management strategies, and widespread screening is imperative toward national eradication efforts.

Currently, measurement of relative pulmonary perfusion can only be performed outside the catheterization laboratory. Real-time measurement of lung perfusion at the catheterization laboratory has the potential to reduce unnecessary testing, associated costs, and radiation exposure. Further optimization and validation is warranted.
