Testing a new CT scanner with photon-counting technology
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 89 years old.
- You are not pregnant (if you could become pregnant, you will need to confirm this before the scan).
- You do not have a known allergy to contrast dye (the liquid sometimes used during scans).
- You do not have any serious medical condition that your doctor thinks would make the study unsafe for you.

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 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.
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 a newer, more detailed type of CT scanner for the heart. It may give doctors clearer pictures to improve diagnosis and treatment planning.
This study tests a new type of CT scanner called Spectral CT Verida, which takes detailed images of the body. It aims to see how well the scanner works and whether it is safe for people to use.
This study tests a new type of CT scanner that creates detailed images using different energy levels. The goal is to see how well this scanner works in adults of healthy weight, which may lead to clearer scans with less radiation for patients.
