About this study

Official title: Feasibility of Single Exposure Dual Energy Subtraction With a Multi-Energy Digital Radiography Detector for Lung Lesions Detection

A single-centre, industry sponsored, pilot study to assess the feasibility of Single Exposure Dual Energy Subtraction with a Multi-Energy digital radiography detector as an imaging platform for lung lesion detection.

Read the detailed description

A feasibility study is proposed to investigate the imaging characteristics captured by a Single Exposure Dual-Energy Subtraction digital radiography with KA Imaging's Multi-energy detector.

The acquisition of Dual-Energy Subtraction radiography will consist of using the Multi-Energy detector integrated into the X-ray system in Grand River Hospital. Patient will receive a Multi-Energy Chest radiography exam on the same day as their routine chest CT exam. Each Multi-Energy radiography exam will consist of one Chest PA image and one Chest LAT image. Duration of each procedure is 60 minutes. The Multi-Energy Detector will generate a General Radiography Image and Dual-Energy Subtracted Images.

Visualization of lung lesions by Multi-Energy detector will be compared to corresponding CT exam and general radiography results. Imaging data will be evaluated qualitatively by radiologists on data collection form to describe the findings on the images. Further comparison between general radiography, Dual-Energy Subtraction radiography and CT will be analyzed to determine the differences of imaging characteristics such as description of image quality and visibility of relevant anatomical structures and anomalies.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Multi-Energy Digital Radiography Detector SystemDevice

    Also called Multi-Energy X-ray Detector

    A Multi-energy digital flat panel detector for Single Exposure Dual-Energy Subtraction radiography is developed to capture x-ray images with improved tissue differentiation. Tissue-selective images can be produced at various tissue levels such as bone and soft tissue to visualize obscured anomalies that are not apparent to General Radiography.

What is being measured

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

  1. Multi-Energy images will be compared to baseline Chest CT images for visualizing lung lesions.

    Multi-Energy images will be compared to baseline Chest CT images for visualizing lung lesions, as determined. Expert readers will qualitatively evaluate the imaging differences (e.g. motion artifacts, technical defects, ease of anomalies identification, etc) with an evaluation form with a questionnaire grading system (i.e. 1 (severe defect), 2 (moderate defect) to 5 (no defect)).

    Measured: 3 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Multi-Energy images will be compared to standard radiography images for visualizing lung lesions.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Multi-Energy Digital Radiography Detector System in people with Lung Tumor and Solitary Pulmonary Nodule, run by KA Imaging Inc. at 1 site in Canada.

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 5 inclusion and 3 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Jan 2020. 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 Canada. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Tracy Nelson ((519) 749-4370 ext. 5745, Tracy.Nelson@grhosp.on.ca), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Multi-Energy images will be compared to baseline Chest CT images for visualizing lung lesions. (time frame: 3 months). 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 10 Jan 2020.
