Better CT images for guiding procedures
This study tests an imaging software that helps make CT images clearer and sharper, especially when guiding needles or other instruments during procedures. If you have already had a qualifying CT scan, this study may help improve how procedures are guided in the future.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- Your CT scan was done on a Philips Incisive CT or CT 5300 machine.
- The CT images show a needle, probe, or screw used during your procedure.
- The CT scan was not done with the very low radiation setting of 70 kVp.
- Your interventional radiologist considers the images suitable for guiding the procedure.

This study tests a new software called Precise Image that may make CT scans clearer for children and teens. It uses existing scans to see if the software improves image quality without extra radiation.
This study tests a special image-enhancing software that works with certain Philips CT scanners to make pictures of bones, joints, and muscles clearer. If your scan was done on one of these machines and meets a few technical requirements, your existing images could help improve the software.
This study tests a software tool that makes CT scans easier to read when metal (like implants, dental fillings, or pacemakers) is present. The goal is to improve image quality by reducing the streaks and artifacts that metal causes, which could help doctors see more clearly.
This study tests a new 3D preview (called Surview) that helps create clear images from your CT scan. It may improve the way doctors look at your body and plan your care.
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.
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.
