Brief Summary
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of a new motion correction algorithm on image quality and diagnostic utility in unselected patients undergoing coronary cardiac computed tomography, and to investigate if this motion correction algorithm can compensate for the usual use of intravenously medication (beta-blockers) before the scan.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
images with non diagnostic image quality
number of non diagnostic images.
up to 1 year
Secondary Outcomes (2)
images with Excellent image quality
up to 1 year
motion artifacts
up to 1 year
Study Arms (2)
seloken
NO INTERVENTIONIn "seloken" arm, patients performs the cardiac CT procedure regarding the national scan guidelines, ande receive 5-10 intravenous seloken, until heart rate below 60 beats pr minit is achieved.
non-seloken
EXPERIMENTALPatients randomized to "non-seloken", do not receive any medication.
Interventions
regarding the guidelines patients receive seloken before the cardiac CT scan to lower the heart rate during the scan. The intervention in this study is to avoid the medication with seloken before the scan, and to investigate if the use of a new motion correction scan algorithm can compensate for the absence of the seloken.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- age ≥ 18 years,
- glomerular filtration rate ≥ 60 mL/min,
- heart rate between 60 and 85 bpm before the scan
You may not qualify if:
- irregular heart rhythm
- history of allergic reaction to contrast agents
