Spectral CT With Advanced CT Technology

GE Healthcare30 enrolled

Overview

The purpose of the study is to collect data to evaluate feasibility of the using photon-counting CT in a clinical setting.

Data collected in this study includes an assessment of image quality parameters including spatial resolution, image contrast, and noise that will evaluate the product and how this photon-counting CT technology can be used to reduce the overall radiation dose in CT imaging, and enhance clinical applications for CT technology.

Interventions

CT with a photon-counting detectorDEVICE

Enrolled subjects will complete an exam using the photon-counting CT, with or without IV contract as indicated. Images will then be compared with the previously acquired CT conducted as standard of care.
