NCT00611780

Brief Summary

The objective of this study is to compare radiation dose of a 100kV scan protocol to the standard 120kV scan protocol. We hypothesize that the 100kV scan protocol is associated with a reduction in dose estimates of at least 20%, while the diagnostic image quality is not inferior. Secondary endpoints of the study include quantitative image quality parameters, diagnostic accuracy for 120 vs.100kV studies compared to invasive angiography in patients who underwent subsequent invasive coronary angiography

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Compared with a 120kV protocol the use of a 100kV scan protocol is associated with a reduction in dose estimates of at least 20%, while the diagnostic image quality is not inferior.

    30 days

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • impact of the 100kV scan protocol on quantitative image quality parameters, e.g. image noise, signal and contrast intensity, signal- and contrast-to-noise-ratios

    30 days

  • diagnostic accuracy (sensitivity, specificity as well as positive and negative predictive values) for 120kV vs. 100 kV studies when compared with invasive coronary angiography on a per-vessel based analysis.

    30 days

  • frequency of non-diagnostic CTA studies when comparing 120kV and 100kV

    30 days
