This study is looking at new ways to detect coronary artery disease (CAD), a condition where plaque builds up in the heart's arteries. Researchers want to compare a special type of scan called NaF-PET/CT with standard heart CT scans. They believe NaF-PET/CT might be better at finding early signs of plaque buildup. The study will involve 33 patients who are suspected of having CAD and are already scheduled for a heart CT scan. You could be eligible if you are 18 or older, have symptoms that suggest CAD, and are referred for a coronary CT angiography. The main goal is to see how well NaF-PET/CT can measure the amount of plaque compared to other CT scans, and how accurate it is at finding coronary atherosclerosis.

Study design

This is an interventional study comparing two diagnostic tests in 33 participants. It is a single-center, prospective diagnostic accuracy study.

What's involved

Participants will undergo an additional NaF-PET/CT scan in addition to their clinically indicated cardiac CT scan. The primary endpoints are measured at 60 days.

Compensation

Not stated in the trial record.

Follow-up

The study measures outcomes at 60 days after the scans.
