Comprehensive Characterization of Coronary Atherosclerotic Disease Using Photon-counting Detector Dual-source CT and Its Impact on Patient Management
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Photon-counting detector computed tomography (PCD-CT) for Coronary Artery Disease. Completed, enrolled 276 participants across 1 site.
Signals
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this research trial is to determine whether images taken using a Photon Counting Detector CT scanner (PCD-CT) provide clinically important information about the severity of suspected coronary artery disease and perfusion defects compared to traditional Energy Integrating Detector CT (EID-CT) and nuclear medicine cardiac stress tests.
Study Details
Timeline
Arms & Interventions
Subjects scheduled for a clinically indicated coronary CT angiogram will receive a research contrast-enhanced coronary CT angiogram using photon-counting detector CT.
Subjects scheduled for a clinically indicated nuclear medicine or MRI cardiac stress test will receive a research contrast-enhanced coronary CT angiogram using photon-counting detector CT at rest and after administration of a cardiac stress agent.
Interventions
Cardiac CT imaging will be performed using a newly developed CT scanner that uses photon-counting detectors and the results compared to those from conventional CT, MRI, or nuclear medicine imaging systems
