Testing a new CT image reconstruction method
This study tests whether a “next generation” computer method can improve how CT scan images are created. You may be eligible if you need a CT scan of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis (and/or the chest) as part of your care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You need a CT scan for medical reasons that includes your chest (and possibly abdomen and pelvis).
- You may need the scan with contrast (or possibly without contrast for the chest part).
- You are 18 years of age or older.
- You can understand the study and agree to sign the consent form.
- You are not pregnant.
- Your blood creatinine level is not higher than 1.5 mg/dL (a marker related to kidney function).
- For body CT: your planned scan should not use more than one contrast imaging timing/phase.

This study is testing a new way of taking CT scans that may give doctors more information. If you are already scheduled for a CT scan, you may be able to have an extra scan using this new method.
This study is testing a new, more advanced type of CT scanner. It uses photon-counting technology to take clearer pictures of the body with less radiation. You will have one or more CT scans to help researchers see how well this new machine works compared to current scanners.
This trial studies newer ways to take heart and blood vessel CT scans while using radiation more carefully. It may help improve image quality for people needing coronary CT angiography.
This study tests whether a newer CT scan method can better detect coronary heart disease. You may qualify if your doctor referred you for a heart CT scan.
This study tests a new X-ray system that looks at CT scans of the chest, belly, and pelvis. The goal is to see how well it works in real hospital use for adults.
This trial is testing a new CT imaging technique called CT-XPI to see if it can provide better images for diagnosis. You may be able to join if you are scheduled for a standard CT scan of the head, neck, chest, belly, pelvis, or an arm or leg.
