Clinical Trial: Randomized Prospective Trial on the Cost-Effectiveness of Photon-Counting CT Versus Energy-Integrating Detector CT in Suspected Chronic Coronary Syndrome

U.S., Sept. 22 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07831304) titled 'Randomized Prospective Trial on the Cost-Effectiveness of Photon-Counting CT Versus Energy-Integrating Detector CT in Suspected Chronic Coronary Syndrome' on Sept. 09.

Brief Summary: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) is recommended as a first-line imaging test in patients with suspected obstructive CAD. However, conventional energy-integrating detector CT (EID-CT) has limited specificity, particularly in patients with a high coronary calcification burden, because blooming and beam-hardening artifacts can lead to stenosis overestimat...
