Metal reduction CT scan study for adults
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You had a CT scan on a Philips Incisive CT or CT 5300 machine.
