New CT scan for advanced heart imaging
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a new type of CT scanner that may produce clearer images of the heart. It is for people already scheduled for a standard cardiac CT.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have been referred for a heart CT by your doctor.
- You do not have a known allergy to iodine contrast dye.
- You are not pregnant.
- Your kidney function is good (eGFR of 30 or higher).
- You have no other reasons that would make a standard heart CT unsafe or unsuccessful.

This study tests a newer type of CT scan (photon counting) to see if it can better predict which patients with heart disease or chest pain symptoms are at risk for a heart attack. The scan uses imaging technology that may provide clearer images and help doctors make better treatment decisions.
This trial tests a new CT scanner (photon-counting CT) combined with a tiny camera inside the heart arteries to better see blockages. It's for people with chest pain or silent ischemia, but not for those having a big heart attack (STEMI) or with unstable conditions.
This study looks at how different CT scan image settings affect how well doctors can spot and measure coronary artery disease. It may help improve the accuracy of CT scans for people who are getting a heart CT anyway.
This study tests whether a special heart CT scan can help evaluate the cause of chest pain in people at intermediate risk for blocked heart arteries. It may help doctors decide what to do next after an emergency room visit.
This study uses a new type of CT scan (photon-counting detection) to get detailed images of heart artery plaques in people who have a drug-coated stent (DES) in a major heart vessel. It aims to see if this imaging can better assess plaque than standard methods.
This trial is testing whether a special heart CT scan (coronary CT angiography) can help doctors better understand and treat calcium buildup in your heart arteries. If you have a type of heart disease that might need a stent or other procedure, this study could help decide the best approach.
