Prospective Randomized Trial On RadiaTion Dose Estimates Of CT AngIOgraphy In PatieNts Scanned With A 100kV Protocol

NCT00611780 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: PHASE4 · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 400

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The objective of this study is to compare radiation dose of a 100kV scan protocol to the standard 120kV scan protocol. We hypothesize that the 100kV scan protocol is associated with a reduction in dose estimates of at least 20%, while the diagnostic image quality is not inferior.

Secondary endpoints of the study include quantitative image quality parameters, diagnostic accuracy for 120 vs.100kV studies compared to invasive angiography in patients who underwent subsequent invasive coronary angiography
