研究概览
简要总结
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to evaluate stationary head CT (s-HCT) as a diagnostic tool in patients with known head trauma.
Participants: Participants will be 50 people who have had either a head trauma or a brain bleed and have undergone a head CT in the past 24 hours or who will undergo a CT scan of the head.
Procedures (methods): This investigation will be a single arm, prospective clinical trial. Participants will have one single visit, which will include the s-HCT scan. No follow-up is required. All images will be de-identified before inclusion within a reader study. The investigators will perform a reader study with physician readers comparing the acquired imaging s-HCT images and conventional head CT.
详细描述
This investigation will be a single arm, prospective clinical trial evaluating stationary head CT (s-HCT) as a diagnostic tool in patients with known head trauma. The investigators hypothesize that a stationary head CT (s-HCT) system based on the carbon nanotube linear array x-ray source can provide diagnostic quality head CT images. Patients included in the study will be 50 people who have had either a head trauma or a brain bleed and have undergone a head CT in the past 24 hours or who will undergo a CT scan of the head.

入选标准
- •18 years of age or older
- •Medically stable patient with head trauma or known intracranial hemorrhage (subdural or intraparenchymal) or skull fractures
- •Patient has undergone conventional head CT imaging at UNC hospitals within the past 24 hours or will undergo a CT scan of the head
- •Willing and able to provide written informed consent

结局指标
主要结局
Sensitivity of Stationary Head CT for the Detection of a Hemorrhage
时间窗: Upon completion of all study image data collection for all participants [each participant was assessed approximately 1 hour for the duration of the single one-hour visit]
Sensitivity of stationary head CT for the detection of a hemorrhage using a reader study is defined as the ability of readers (radiologists) to use the stationary head CT to predict hemorrhage using conventional head CT as the gold standard. All stationary head CT scans will be reviewed in a standardized reader study at the conclusion of all study imaging.
Specificity of Stationary Head CT for the Detection of a Hemorrhage
时间窗: Upon completion of all study image data collection for all participants [each participant was assessed approximately 1 hour for the duration of the single one-hour visit]
Specificity of stationary head CT for the detection of a hemorrhage using a reader study is defined as the ability of readers (radiologists) to use the stationary head CT to distinguish between individuals that do not have a hemorrhage using conventional head CT as the gold standard. All stationary head CT scans will be reviewed in a standardized reader study at the conclusion of all study imaging.
Sensitivity of Stationary Head CT for the Detection of a Fracture
时间窗: Upon completion of all study image data collection for all participants [each participant was assessed approximately 1 hour for the duration of the single one-hour visit]
Sensitivity of stationary head CT for the detection of a fracture using a reader study is defined as the ability of readers (radiologists) to use the stationary head CT to predict a fracture using conventional head CT as the gold standard. All stationary head CT scans will be reviewed in a standardized reader study at the conclusion of all study imaging.
