Clinical In-hospital Evaluation of the Usefulness of a New Multi-detector Computed Tomography Scanner From Arineta Ltd (Arineta)

March 23, 2016 updated by: Carmel Medical Center
Clinical evaluation of a new cardiovascular oriented CT scanner from Arineta Ltd.

Study Overview

Status

Unknown

Detailed Description

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.

Patients with suspected cardiac disease

Patients eligible for cardiac CT will be included with a focus on symptomatic patients with low-intermediate risk for obstructive coronary artery disease.

Patients will undergo Cardiac CT scanning (with the SpotLight CT).

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Image quality (subjective) of the new SpotLight CT scanner from Arineta Ltd.
Time Frame: 2 years
Subjective (4 grade scale) image quality assessment of coronary arteries. unassessable studies and unassessable coronary segments will be reported.
2 years
Image quality (objective) of the new SpotLight CT scanner from Arineta Ltd.
Time Frame: 2 years
Image contrast, image noise, signal to noise ratio and contrast to noise ratio. Those numerical values will be reported to allow comparisons with values previously reported with other CT scanners.
2 years

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Diagnostic accuracy of the new SpotLight CT scanner from Arineta Ltd.
Time Frame: 2 years
Performance characteristics of the new CT scanner for diagnosing obstructive coronary artery disease as compared to other reference standards such as invasive coronary angiography.
2 years
The effect of cardiac CT results (with SpotLight CT) on patients triage
Time Frame: 5 years
The effect of cardiac CT results on patients diagnosis and therfore hospitalization or discharge decisions
5 years
The predictive value of cardiac CT results (with SpotLight CT) for patients outcome
Time Frame: 5 years
Predictive value of cardiac CT results for adverse outcomes (death/myocardial infarction/revascularization).
