New Ultra-Sharp CT scanner put to the test for spotting dangerous heart blockages
NCT ID NCT06170541
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a new ultra-high resolution CT scanner is better than a standard CT at finding blocked arteries in the heart. About 140 adults with suspected coronary heart disease will get one scan, and the images will be compared to the usual method (catheterization). The goal is to see if the sharper images help doctors detect serious blockages more accurately.
