Brief Title: Dose Efficiency of Modern CT Scanners in Oncologic Scans
Official Title: On Dose Efficiency of Modern CT-Scanners in the Staging of Malignancies - a Prospective Randomized Study
Study ID: NCT04989192
Brief Summary: CT-Staging is crucial for therapy planning of patients with malignancies. Dose efficiency and image quality are important parameters for these examinations. Up to now, scientific evidence of dose efficiency of modern CT scanners is mostly derived from retrospective analyses. This prospective study systematically analyzes dose efficiency and image quality of three modern CT scanners by randomization of patients who are scheduled for a CT scan to examine the status of malignancies. After giving informed consent and randomization (1:1:1), the CT scan will be performed at one of the modern CT scanners available at our department. This will allow a systematic allocation to the different scanners.
