Trial Identification
Brief Title: On Dose Efficiency of Modern CT-scanners in Chest Scans
Official Title: On Dose Efficiency of Modern CT-scanners in Chest Scans- a Prospective, Randomized Study
Study ID: NCT04996693
Study Description
Brief Summary: CT scans of the chest / thorax are of great importance both in the initial diagnosis and in the follow-up of pulmonary or thoracic diseases. As an example, CT angiography of the pulmonary arteries (CTPA) is worldwide considered to be gold standard test in patients with a suspicion for pulmonary embolism. The aim of this study is to measure and compare dose efficiency of modern CT scanners for unenhanced and contrast-enhanced scan protocols of the chest/thorax. Patients who are referred for a CT of the chest/thorax will be randomly assigned to one of the three CT scanners currently in use at our institution.
