Clinical Trial Summary

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

Description:

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.
