Evaluating New Radiation Techniques for Cardiovascular Imaging
This study is looking at new ways to use the Cannon Aquilion ONE CT system for heart imaging. The goal is to see if these new techniques can accurately detect serious blockages in your heart arteries (coronary artery stenosis) using lower radiation doses. Researchers also want to find out if these low-dose scans can predict your risk of future heart problems like heart attacks or death. This study is for people aged 18 to 100 who need a heart CT scan and are willing to provide follow-up information. The main goal is to compare how often heart-related events happen in people with significant blockages versus those with less severe blockages.

What this trial measures
- Compare time-to-first cardiovascular events (death, revascularization more than 90 days after CTA, hospitalization, non-fatal myocardial infarction, stroke) in subjects with >=50% coronary stenosis vs. <50% stenosis.ongoing
The purpose of this research study is to learn whether these new imaging methods are accurate or predict subject outcomes.
