Clinical Feasibility and Evaluation of Silicon Photon Counting CT

GE Healthcare45 enrolled

Overview

The purpose of the study is to collect data to evaluate utility 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. This data and analysis will help support regulatory submission.

CT Photon-Counting

Interventions

CT Photon-CountingDEVICE

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.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Data Collection

Number of Participants with raw investigational photon-counting CT scan data along with prior standard of care diagnostic CT exam data/images

Time frame: 1 year

Secondary Outcomes

Image Quality

Reconstructed images produced from the raw investigational photon-counting CT scan will be scored for image quality using a Likert Scale (1 - Non-Diagnostic to 5 - Excellent Image Quality)

Time frame: 1 year
