About the trial
What the trial wants to find out
The goal of this observational study is to learn about a new type of computed tomography (Photon-Counting Detector CT) in patients with coronary artery disease.
Read full original descriptionShow less
The main questions it aims to answer are:
* How good is the image quality for the new CT * How accurate are measurements in the images of the new CT * Is there a relationship between measurements in the images and the management of the disease (e.g. new medication or additional investigations) * Is there a relationship between measurements in the images and the results of follow-up investigations * Is there a relationship between measurements in the images and the patient outcome
Participants will undergo normal clinical assessment of coronary artery disease and all data from the CT scan and additional investigations will be collected. There will be no additional investigations for the purpose of the study. After 1, 2 and 5 years, participants will be asked to answer a health questionaire.
The group in the trial
- Coronary Artery Disease
Patients with suspected coronary artery disease and those with known coronary artery disease and the suspicion of progressive disease who undergo clinically indicated Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography on the Photon-Counting Detector CT will be enrolled after written consent. All data from the CT scan and potential additional investigations (e.g. invasive coronary angiographies) will be collected. There will be no additional investigations for the purpose of the study. After 1, 2 and 5 years, participants will be asked to answer a health questionaire.
Treatment: Photon Counting Detector Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography
