Research Sponsored by National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI)
Eligibility Criteria Checklist
Specific guidelines that determine who can or cannot participate in a clinical trial
Must have
Clinical indication for a coronary CT angiography exam
Age equal to or greater than 18 years
Must not have
If receiving intravenous contrast, severe renal excretory dysfunction, estimated glomerular filtration rate < 30 mL/min/1.73m2 body surface area according to the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease criteria or as reported by the clinical lab. Glomerular filtration rate will be estimated using the 2021 CK-EPI equation that eliminate the use of race coefficient as reported in CRIS.

Summary

This trial is studying new ways of taking pictures of the heart or blood vessels using computed tomography to see how effective they are in producing accurate CT scans.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 who need a coronary CT angiography exam to check their heart or blood vessels. They must understand and sign consent, be able to follow up, and have working kidneys if using contrast. Pregnant individuals or those with severe kidney issues can't join.
What is being tested?
Researchers are testing new low-radiation techniques in the Toshiba Aquilion ONE CT system for imaging the heart and blood vessels. Participants will undergo a detailed scan session that could use a contrast agent and will be followed up after 90 days, then yearly for five years.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include reactions to the contrast agent used during scanning (if applicable), such as allergic reactions or kidney function impairment. The reduced radiation technique aims to minimize exposure-related risks.
