First seen Jan 11, 2026 · Last updated May 01, 2026 · Updated 24 times

Summary

This study tests whether a new type of CT scanner, called Photon Counting Detector CT (PCD-CT), can provide clearer images of heart artery disease when used with a drug that makes the heart work harder. About 450 adults with suspected coronary artery disease will get both a standard scan and the new scan. Doctors will compare the results to see if the new method changes how they diagnose or treat the condition.
