Evaluating Next Generation CT Reconstruction (NextGenIR)
This study is looking at new ways to create CT (Computed Tomography) scans. CT scans make detailed pictures of your body using radiation. Researchers want to see if these newer methods, which use less radiation, produce images that are just as good as images from traditional CT scans. You might be able to join if you are an adult (18 years or older) and are already scheduled for a CT scan of your chest, abdomen, and pelvis with contrast. The study will compare the quality of images from a low-radiation CT scan using advanced reconstruction methods with images from a standard-dose CT scan.
- Study design
- This is an observational study, meaning researchers will observe and compare CT images from 215 participants. It is not specified if it's randomized or blinded.
- What's involved
- You would undergo a research low-radiation body CT scan in addition to your clinically indicated CT scan. Image quality will be measured at baseline (Day 0).
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Image quality will be measured at baseline (Day 0).

What this trial measures
- Compare with respect to 6 image quality metrics the overall image quality from a research low radiation dose body CT utilizing advanced (model based) iterative reconstruction with a clinical standard radiation dose CT from the same subject.Baseline (Day 0)
