NCT ID NCT07221175

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 15, 2026 · Updated 30 times

Summary

This study aimed to see if using a very low X-ray pulse rate (3.75 frames per second) during heart artery imaging could lower the radiation dose received by the doctor performing the procedure, compared to the standard rate (7.5 frames per second). The study was withdrawn before enrolling any participants, so no results are available. It was designed for doctors and patients undergoing a specific type of heart imaging through the wrist.
