U.S., March 21 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT06886958) titled 'Spectral CT Protocol Optimization for Atherosclerotic Plaque CharacterizatION' on March 14.
Brief Summary: The SCORPION study (Spectral CT Protocol Optimization for Atherosclerotic Plaque Characterization) is a retrospective and prospective observational research project aimed at improving the diagnostic accuracy of dual-energy CT (DECT) and photon-counting CT (PCCT) in the characterization of atherosclerotic plaques in the coronary and carotid arteries. Given that cardiovascular diseases remain a leading cause of mortality despite advances in prevention and treatment, optimizing non-invasive imaging methods is crucial. CT Angiogra...
