New CT algorithm could sharpen images for kids
NCT ID NCT07317466
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Aug 26, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study will test a new image reconstruction algorithm called Precise Image in 168 children aged 18 months to 18 years undergoing CT scans. The goal is to see if it produces images as good as or better than the current standard. If it works, it could lead to clearer scans for pediatric patients.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Precise Image reconstruction algorithm
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could support expanding the use of the Precise Image algorithm to pediatric patients, potentially improving CT image quality for children.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage study focused on image quality, not on treating a disease. It may not show a clear benefit over existing methods.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Subjects scanned by FDA-cleared and marketed Philips Incisive CT or CT 5300 systems, and according to the department standard of care clinical protocols for the applicable anatomies. * Subject age: From 18 months up to and including 18 years of age. Exclusion Criteria: * Subject age: Below 18 months and above 18 years of age. * Scans that were acquired using generic 'Head' and 'Body' scan types (as Precise Image does not support generic 'Head' and 'Body' scan types). * Head scans (brain and sinus/facial/orbits) acquired with a kilovoltage peak (kVp) outside the range of 100-120 kVp (as Precise Image does not support kVp settings outside this range for these clinical scan types). * Scans that were acquired using a kilovoltage peak of 70 kVp (as Precise Image does not support a kilovoltage peak lower than 80 kVp). * Scans that the site radiologists have deemed as non-diagnostic image quality in standard practice (e.g. patient movement). * Scans that failed internal technical checks (e.g., corrupt files, failure to reconstruct).
