Trial summary

To validate the following theory: "With TRUVIEW ART™ applied a detector's quantitative performance index, MTF(Modulation Transfer Function), is increased 20% or more".

About this study

Official title: A Clinical Study of TRUVIEW ART(Advanced Reconstruction Tech)to Improve Image Quality on Chest Radiograph

To validate the following theory: "With TRUVIEW ART™ applied a detector's quantitative performance index, MTF(Modulation Transfer Function), is increased 20% or more". This is to examine the effect of the increased MTF index, whether it influences or not the interpreter's preference

Read the detailed description

Background of Study :

DRTECH Corp. has developed and applied for patenting the unique technology of TRUVIEW ART™. TRUVIEW ART™ is advanced image reconstruction technology that restores image quality from the side effects of scattering signals in indirect type scintillator detectors. It is an advanced image pre-processing technology that constructs signal scattering models (PSF) of indirect type detector scintillators. Image sharpness (MTF) is improved by predicting scattering models and eliminating the scattering signal.

Purpose of Research and Assumption :

Indirect conversion type detectors using scintillators are universal in today's diagnostic imaging area. However, they have a disadvantage of signal scattering compared with direct conversion type detectors. TRUVIEW ART™(Advanced Reconstruction Technology) can restore images from the scattering problems. The purpose of this study is to verify how well it improves the usefulness in clinical diagnostic imaging. Evaluation will measure the improvements in MTF, which is the quantitative performance index of a detector.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Chest x-ray image acquisitionRadiation

    Obtain a digital X-ray chest image of the patient

  • Creation of TRUVIEW ART applied imageRadiation

    Application of TRUVIEW ART to the original chest x-ray image to create a new set of TRUVIEW ART applied image.

    Outcome: 2 versions of chest image

    1. Original Chest X-ray (w/o TRUVIEW ART)
    2. TRUVIEW ART applied image
  • Comparison of TRUVIEW ART image with original imageRadiation

    Comparison of 2 versions of chest image side by side Performance evaluation may consist of detailed categories such as expression of chest structure, visibility level of pulmonary vascular system, etc. For all categories visibility and preference will be scored and each category will be analyzed to point out any statistical difference

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Qualitative research using Wilcoxon's signed rank test to compare images produced by test equipment before and after applying TRUVIEW ART (Advanced Reconstruction Tech)

    • Preference score : Eleven anatomic regions(unobscured lung, hilum, minor fissure, retrocardiac lung, lung projected below the diaphragm (subdiaphragmatic lung), azygoesophageal recess, heart border, rib, proximal airway, thoracic spine, and overall appearance) are evaluated. Each pair of images is ranked on a scale from one to five

    Measured: Report composed based on analysis of clinical images accumulated over 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Chest x-ray image acquisition, Creation of TRUVIEW ART applied image and Comparison of TRUVIEW ART image with original image in people with Thoracic Diseases, run by Seoul National University Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Nov 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in South Korea. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Jin Mo Goo, M.D. (82-2-2072-2584, jmgoo@plaza.snu.ac.kr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Qualitative research using Wilcoxon's signed rank test to compare images produced by test equipment before and after applying TRUVIEW ART (Advanced Reconstruction Tech) (time frame: Report composed based on analysis of clinical images accumulated over 6 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 23 Nov 2016.
