Development of Ultra-Low Dose CT Based Screening for Aortic Aneurysms

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Aortic Aneurysm, Thoracic, Aortic Aneurysm, Abdominal

In brief

The primary objective of this research project is development and validation of a new, non-contrast gated aortic (NCGA) computer tomography scan algorithm for screening of aortic aneurysm in the chest and abdomen in at risk patients. This study would initially be performed in patients with a known aneurysm and done in addition to their indicated surveillance CT scan.
