Clinical evaluation of a new cardiovascular oriented CT scanner from Arineta Ltd.
The study will evaluate a new twin source relatively compact CT scanner with advanced technology which is optimized for cardiovascular imaging. Eligible patients with a clinical indication will undergo coronary or cardiac CT scans using the new SpotLight CT from Arineta Ltd. Image quality and usefulness of the new system will then be evaluated.
