New spectral CT imaging method data collection
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are able to give permission to join the study.
- You have had a CT scan in the last 90 days or will have one in the next 30 days at St. Luke's University Hospital. The scan can be of your neck, chest, belly, pelvis, or arms/legs.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You do not need emergency care.
- You are willing to have GE Healthcare staff in the room during the CT scan.

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 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 is testing a new, more advanced type of CT scanner. It uses photon-counting technology to take clearer pictures of the body with less radiation. You will have one or more CT scans to help researchers see how well this new machine works compared to current scanners.
This study tests whether a “next generation” computer method can improve how CT scan images are created. You may be eligible if you need a CT scan of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis (and/or the chest) as part of your care.
This trial studies newer ways to take heart and blood vessel CT scans while using radiation more carefully. It may help improve image quality for people needing coronary CT angiography.
