About this study

Official title: Feasibility and Data Collection of Dual Energy Cardiac CT on a Wide Coverage System

This study is intended to collect clinical feasibility data using this prototype research mode for the purposes of understanding potential clinical impact, potential limitations and strengths, and to further develop the technique through development of image reconstruction and processing approaches or identification of other areas of development required.

Read the detailed description

Up to 38 subjects may be enrolled to achieve the target number of 30 evaluable subjects. Withdrawn or discontinued subjects who are enrolled and received the investigational scan, may be replaced. Subject participation will be deemed complete once the diagnostic and investigational scans are completed. A subject is considered evaluable when images and raw data from the diagnostic single energy cardiac CT scan and raw data from the investigational dual energy cardiac CT scan have been collected successfully and demonstrate a diagnostic interpretation.

What participants receive

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

  • Additional Gemstone Spectral Imaging (GSI) cardiac scanDevice

    After the subject undergoes the clinically prescribed cardiac Computed Tomography (CT) scan for their diagnostic purposes, the investigational Gemstone Spectral Imaging (GSI) scan will be conducted following the diagnostic CT scan utilizing the same contrast administration.

What is being measured

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

  1. Collect Data

    Data will be collected from the scanner for future post-processing and engineering development. There is no analysis planned at this time for the data, simply data collection.

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Evaluation- Likert Scale

    Complete an image evaluation using a 5 point Likert Scale (1 - Non-Diagnostic to 5 - Excellent Image Quality), done by a qualified cardiac imaging expert.

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cardiovascular Diseases, run by GE Healthcare at 1 site in Switzerland.

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 9 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Dec 2023. 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 Switzerland. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Collect Data (time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year). 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 18 Dec 2023.
