AI heart scan software aims to spot dangerous blockages without invasive probes
NCT ID NCT06018194
First seen Sep 08, 2026 · Last updated Sep 09, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a software program called ElucidVivo can accurately predict blood flow blockages in the heart using images from a standard CT scan. The software analyzes plaque buildup in the coronary arteries to estimate a value called FFRct, which indicates how much a blockage restricts blood flow. Researchers compare the software's estimates to the actual invasive FFR measurements taken during a catheter procedure in adults with coronary artery disease. If the software proves reliable, it might offer a less invasive way to diagnose significant blockages.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- ElucidVivo, a software that analyzes coronary CT scans to estimate blood flow blockage
- What this could lead to
- If accurate, this software could help doctors identify significant coronary artery blockages from a CT scan, potentially reducing the need for invasive catheter procedures.
- What could go wrong
- The trial is testing diagnostic accuracy, not treatment outcomes. The software may not match the precision of invasive FFR, and results may vary across different patient groups.

Inclusion Criteria 1\. Adults \>18 years with CCTA (\>64-detector row) performed within 60 days of undergoing invasive FFR. Exclusion Criteria 1. History of coronary revascularization with coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery and/or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) (stent or balloon angioplasty) prior to CCTA and invasive FFR. 2. History of myocardial infarction prior to CCTA and invasive FFR. 3. Known complex congenital heart disease. 4. Existing pacemaker or internal defibrillator lead implantation(s). 5. Existing prosthetic heart valve. 6. Absence of CCTA Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) data for analysis. 7. Absence of invasive coronary angiography imaging or adequate description defining the position of the invasive FFR wire location. 8. Poor CCTA image quality that does not meet Elucid image processing requirements for plaque and FFRct (See Image Analysis Manual below). 9. Absence of study date for CCTA or invasive FFR. 10. Interval clinical myocardial infarction, diagnosis of decompensated heart failure, stroke, or coronary revascularization procedure between CCTA and invasive FFR. 11. Non-diagnostic CCTA or invasive FFR. Studies where the results of the study were deemed non-diagnostic for clinical decision-making were excluded. 12. CCTA or invasive FFR studies performed prior to 1 January 2012. 13. Subjects who had IFR or CFR and not measured FFR.
