Comparing transport safety for ICU scans
This study compares how safe it is to transport ICU patients between different scanning methods. It looks at whether moving patients for a PET/CT scan or a chest/abdomen CT is as safe as other approaches.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be a patient in the intensive care unit (ICU) during the study.
- You will have a PET/CT scan, or a CT scan of the chest or abdomen, while in the ICU.
- The scan must not be for an urgent emergency (e.g., sudden danger to your vital signs).
- The scan must not be only a CT of the brain.
- You must not be registered in the Dutch national objection registry for medical research.

This study compares new imaging methods to see how well they work and whether they can lower costs for people with suspected coronary artery disease. It may help by using different scan approaches while keeping patient safety in mind.
This study compares two types of PET/CT machines to see how well they work for imaging. It may help if you are getting a PET/CT scan as part of your care.
This study compares a new type of imaging machine (a special CT scanner) with the standard imaging used during image-guided procedures, to see if it gives clearer images and works just as well for guiding treatments. If you're already scheduled for such a procedure, you may be able to take part.
This study compares two ways of taking PET/CT scan images. It may help doctors choose the best scan method for planning treatment, checking how it’s working, or evaluating infection or inflammation.
This study compares a new ultrasound-based method to a standard CT scan for measuring blood flow in the brain. It is designed for people in the ICU or CCU who are already scheduled for a CT scan and could benefit from a simpler, more portable imaging option.
