Trial Outcomes & Findings for Clinical Evaluation of CARESTREAM Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) (NCT NCT02445287)

NCT ID: NCT02445287

Last Updated: 2017-01-30

Results Overview

1-1.9-Non-diagnostic Unacceptable for diagnostic purposes. Little or no clinically usable diagnostic information (e.g., gross underexposure, system failure or extensive motion artifact). Almost all such imaging should be repeated. 2-2.9-Limited Acceptable, with some technical defect (motion artifact, body habitus/poor x-ray penetration, or patient positioning may limit visualization of some body-regions but still adequate for diagnostic purposes). Not as much diagnostic information as is typical for an examination of this type, but likely sufficient. 3-3.9-Diagnostic Image quality that would be expected routinely when imaging cooperative patients. 4-Exemplary Good, most adequate for diagnostic purposes. Image quality that can serve as an example that should be emulated.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 12 weeks after last image capture

Population: 140 total image ratings from 4 radiologist readers (35 specimens rated x 4 readers) for each of the above two arms.

1-1.9-Non-diagnostic Unacceptable for diagnostic purposes. Little or no clinically usable diagnostic information (e.g., gross underexposure, system failure or extensive motion artifact). Almost all such imaging should be repeated. 2-2.9-Limited Acceptable, with some technical defect (motion artifact, body habitus/poor x-ray penetration, or patient positioning may limit visualization of some body-regions but still adequate for diagnostic purposes). Not as much diagnostic information as is typical for an examination of this type, but likely sufficient. 3-3.9-Diagnostic Image quality that would be expected routinely when imaging cooperative patients. 4-Exemplary Good, most adequate for diagnostic purposes. Image quality that can serve as an example that should be emulated.

Outcome measures

Outcome measures
Measure
Predicate - Cadavers 2D
n=140 images
The study arms are broken out by participants which include cadaveric specimens imaged on both 2D (predicate and investigational) devices and 3D (reference and investigational) devices; and human subjects on 3D investigational device only. The image data is analyzed by comparing the following: 2D images from the predicate device to 2D images of the investigational device, and 3D images from the reference device to 3D images of the investigational device. In addition, the CBCT 3D device has three separate reconstructions that are available, high resolution iterative, Feldkamp, Davis \& Kress (FDK), and standard iterative (SND). Therefore the outcome measures required four separate analyses (one for 2D and three for 3D) and are listed accordingly. All p-values were calculated (and verified) by our statistician and are correct. They were rounded to fit four digits.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 12 weeks after last image capture

Population: 140 image ratings from 4 radiologist readers (35 specimens rated x 4 readers) for the for Reference-Cadavers 3D arm above. 204 image ratings from 4 radiologist readers (35 specimens, + 13 human subjects, + 3 specimens w/o metal correction rated x 4 readers) for the Investigational-Cadavers \& Human Subjects 3D-High Resolution arm above.

1-1.9-Non-diagnostic Unacceptable for diagnostic purposes. Little or no clinically usable diagnostic information (e.g., gross underexposure, system failure or extensive motion artifact). Almost all such imaging should be repeated. 2-2.9-Limited Acceptable, with some technical defect (motion artifact, body habitus/poor x-ray penetration, or patient positioning may limit visualization of some body-regions but still adequate for diagnostic purposes).
