About this study

Official title: Determination of Carotid Atherosclerotic Plaque Load and Neck Circumference in Cranial CT Angiography With Machine Learning Method and Their Relationship With Each Other

The aim of this study is to establish a deep learning model to automatically detect the presence and scoring of carotid plaques in neck CTA images, and to determine whether this model is compatible with manual interpretations.

Read the detailed description

Modeling CTA images for carotid artery segments with deep learning method and automatic carotid plaque presence and scoring will be useful and beneficial in clinical practice. The aim of this study is to establish a deep learning model to automatically detect the presence and scoring of carotid plaques in neck CTA images, and to determine whether this model is compatible with manual interpretations.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Atherosclerosis of Artery and Metabolic Syndrome, run by Sultan Abdulhamid Han Training and Research Hospital, Istanbul, Turkey at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 3 inclusion and 5 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 17 Sep 2021. 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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 Elif Yıldırım Ayaz, M.D. (+905325148300, drelifyildirim@hotmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Correlation of the machine learning model and manual interpretation (time frame: 1 day). 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 17 Sep 2021.
