Coronary Artery Disease Clinical Trial
Official title:
Focused Field of View Calcium Scoring Prior to Coronary CT Angiography
Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) is a frequently performed test for the
diagnosis and/or exclusion of coronary artery disease (CAD) in appropriately selected
patients. The performance of non-contrast computed tomography for the detection and
quantification of coronary calcification is typically performed prior to CCTA in an effort to
identify significant calcification which may influence subsequent data acquisition during the
CCTA. However, performance of calcium scoring adds significant radiation and most coronary
calcification is proximal in its location, potentially visualized using a focused
non-contrast scan.
The purpose of this study is to prospectively compare the usefulness of a modified
non-contrast CT, using a significantly shorter scan length and lower radiation parameters, as
compared to standard coronary artery calcium scanning for the detection of coronary
calcification that may influence subsequent CCTA performance.
Prior to undergoing CCTA, non-contrast CT scanning of the entire heart is usually performed
in adults over 50-years of age in order to assess for the presence and severity of coronary
artery calcium. By providing a modified CT scan with a reduced length the same data can be
obtained by the imager to ensure a high quality scan while decreasing the patient's overall
radiation exposure. Our objectives and specific aims to validate our hypothesis include:
- To assess the impact on CCTA image quality using modified calcium score approach
- To determine the rate of changes in the coronary CT angiography acquisition parameters
after evaluation of the modified versus standard calcium scoring scout series.
Significant changes in CCTA acquisition include any of the following as compared to
recommended CCTA parameters prior to scout CT performance: a change (increase or
decrease) in tube current (mA) by 50, any change in tube potential (kV), change to/from
retrospectively-gated CCTA, any change in padding (acquisition window), or changing
to/from a high definition CT scan acquisition.
- To assess the difference in patient estimated effective radiation exposure (mSv) between
the modified versus standard calcium scoring techniques.
- To assess the difference in patient estimated effective radiation exposure (mSv) of the
entire CCTA study (plus calcium scoring) between groups.
Study Design Prospective, randomized single-center cohort study.
Anticipated Requirements
1. Facilities: Walter Reed National Military Medical Center
1. Cardiology Clinic
2. Cardiovascular Health and Interventional Radiology, Angiography and Recovery
[CVHIR]
3. Radiology Department (CT Section)
2. Duration of enrollment: 12 months
3. Budget: no additional budget is needed.
Subject Population
1. One hundred seventy-five (175) male and female adult subjects (military health
beneficiaries age greater than 50 years) who are clinically referred for CCTA will be
eligible for participation.
2. The Walter Reed National Military Medical Center Cardiology Department and Radiology
Departments perform multiple clinically appropriate and indicated coronary CTA studies
weekly (approximately 8-12), which will allow for ease of subject recruitment. Although
there are other open studies using CCTA in our department there is not a lot of overlap
in their requirements and should not prohibit enrollment in our study. This study will
enroll both men and women of all ethnic origins aged ≥ 50 years. All subjects will
consent for themselves. All patients' participation in this research and subsequent
contribution to our medical knowledge notwithstanding, no intent to benefit patients
from enrollment is implied or offered. Pregnant women will be excluded from enrollment
based on:
1. Verbal admission of pregnant status; OR
2. Positive urine pregnancy test performed within 7 days of CCTA in subjects not
previously known to be pregnant.
