CT image quality study for musculoskeletal scans on Philips machines
This study evaluates images from CT scans of the musculoskeletal system (bones, joints, and soft tissues) taken on specific Philips CT machines. It aims to see if a new image processing tool provides clearer images, which could help doctors make better diagnoses.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- Your CT scan must have been done on a Philips Incisive CT or CT 5300 system.
- Your scan must have been done using the standard clinical protocol for that body area.
- Your scan must not have used the generic 'Body' scan type.
- Your scan must not have used a kilovoltage peak (kVp) lower than 80.
- Your scan must have been of diagnostic quality (no motion artifacts or corrupt data).

This study tests a new software to improve CT scan images for people with metal implants or dental work. It is for adults who have had a CT scan with metal on a specific Philips machine to see if the software reduces metal artifacts.
This study evaluates the use of a software called Precise Image for guiding procedures using CT scans. If you are an adult who has had a CT scan showing a needle, probe, or screw, this study may be relevant.
This trial is testing a new 3D imaging technology during a routine CT scan. It may help improve how doctors see and plan for your care, and it does not require any extra procedures or dyes.
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.
