Evaluation of Computed Tomography X-ray-Pulsatility Index (CT-XPI)
University of Wisconsin, Madison
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a new computed tomography (CT) lung perfusion imaging method is as effective as standard of care (SOC) CT imaging. The main question it aims to answer is: * Does the new contrast-free method provide more information about lung perfusion than SOC? Participants will undergo a 30 minute chest CT.
Description
The purpose of the study is to evaluate X-ray Pulsatility Index using prospectively acquired dynamic CT, which is different from conventional static CT scans. The primary objective of this study is to collect dynamic CT scan data with human participants using high frame rate imaging methods to produce a map of lung perfusion.
