NCT ID NCT04523194
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is creating a large collection of heart images from 1,000 people who have had both a CT scan and a special camera test inside their arteries. The goal is to help researchers better understand atherosclerosis, a condition where arteries become clogged. No new treatments are being tested; instead, the images will be used for future studies.
