NCT ID NCT06782438

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This completed study tested whether an artificial intelligence algorithm can reduce noise in fast whole-body bone scans, potentially allowing shorter scan times. Researchers compared images processed by the AI to those processed with a traditional filter. The study involved 20 patients who had bone scans for rheumatological or oncological reasons.

Active substance

artificial intelligence algorithm

What this could lead to

If successful, this AI could allow faster bone scans without losing image quality, making the procedure more comfortable for patients.

What could go wrong

This was a very small study (20 participants) that only compared AI-processed images to standard ones. It does not test any direct health benefit or new treatment.
