Reducing metal streaks on CT scans
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 18 years old.
- You need to have a CT scan that contains metal (like dental fillings, joint implants, pacemakers, or clips).
- The CT scan should be a regular scan (not a heart-gated, lung-gated, or perfusion scan).
- The scan must be complete and of good diagnostic quality (no major patient movement or technical issues).

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.
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 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 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 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 trial tests a new AI technology that improves the quality of CT scans by reducing the blurring or streaks caused by metal implants like screws in the spine. The goal is to get clearer images to help doctors see better after spinal surgery.
