Tomosynthesis of Pathologies of the Chest and Skeletal Structures in Comparison to CT

NCT02464280 · Status: TERMINATED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 60

Last updated 2020-11-04

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The investigators propose tomosynthesis as a imaging method in between of x-ray and CT. The expected value of this project is the definition of proven indications for tomosynthesis, which allow replacing CT. Specific goals are the early detection of pulmonary consolidations / parenchymal changes as well as the monitoring of patients with ostesynthetic implants.

Conditions

Interventions

Tomosythesis scan of the lung or the wrist

All study participants will undergo Tomosynthesis imaging of the lung or the wrist. The radiation dose of each method will be recorded.

OTHER

CT scan of the lung or the wrist

All study participants will undergo CT imaging of the lung or the wrist, for which they where originally scheduled. The radiation dose of each method will be recorded.

OTHER

conventional X-ray of the lung or the wrist

All study participants will undergo conventional X-ray of the lung or the wrist, for which they where originally scheduled. The radiation dose of each method will be recorded.
