About this study

The CT examination on IQon Spectral CT would be a standard of care CT performed as per the clinical indication. The conventional CT images generated by the scanner will be used for clinical purposes as routinely practiced. And therefore, the primary study aim is to assess the impact of IQon Spectral CT scanner and applications on the clinical workflow of the site as well as the diagnostic confidence levels of the physicians reading the CT cases.

In addition to the aim mentioned above, the investigators would like to develop recommendations for the clinical application of the spectral images in routine use. Such recommendations could include optimization of scanning protocols, optimization of reconstruction parameters; evaluate the utility of iodine maps and other supported materials.

Read the detailed description

The study aim is to assess the added diagnostic value and impact on workflow of Philips IQon Spectral Computed Tomography.

The IQon Spectral CT generates two result types:

  • Conventional CT images which are equivalent to images produced by the commercially available Brilliance iCT scanner
  • Spectral CT images which are unique to this product.

The CT examination would be a standard of care CT performed as per the clinical indication.

In addition to the aim mentioned above, the investigators would like to develop recommendations for the clinical application of the spectral images in routine use. Such recommendations could include optimization of scanning parameters, optimization of reconstruction parameters to utilize the capabilities of the IQon system etc.

The clinical system includes:

  • The IQon Spectral CT scanner
  • Spectral Diagnostic suite (Philips IntelliSpace Portal): includes 5 applications. Spectral Enhanced CT Viewer, Spectral Enhanced Advanced Analysis, Spectral Enhanced Comprehensive Cardiac Analysis, Spectral Enhanced Tumor Tracking, spectral magic glass on PACS.

The testing will be conducted under this project plan. This is a single center research study that is expected to be conducted over a one year period.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Degree of improvement in specificity (measures the proportion of negatives that are correctly identified) of spectral coronary CTA for detection of coronary stenoses in need of treatment over conventional coronary CTA

    Measured: One Year

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Change in sensitivity (measures the proportion of positives that are correctly identified) of SDCT versus conventional CT scanning for characterizing pulmonary nodules.

    Measured: One Year

  2. Change in specificity (measures the proportion of negatives that are correctly identified) of SDCT versus conventional CT scanning for characterizing pulmonary nodules.

    Measured: One Year

  3. Change in sensitivity (measures the proportion of positives that are correctly identified) of SDCT versus conventional CT scanning or characterizing carotid atherosclerotic plaque components

    Measured: One Year

  4. Change in specificity (measures the proportion of negatives that are correctly identified) of SDCT versus conventional CT scanning or characterizing carotid atherosclerotic plaque components

    Measured: One Year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing IQon Spectral CT in people with Artery and Deformity, run by Philips Healthcare at 1 site in Netherlands.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Aug 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Netherlands. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Degree of improvement in specificity (measures the proportion of negatives that are correctly identified) of spectral coronary CTA for detection of coronary stenoses in need of treatment over conventional coronary CTA (time frame: One Year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 1 Aug 2017.
