Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To evaluate the performance of the individualised injection protocols in CCTA with regard to objective image quality (attenuation, image noise, CNR, and SNR), compared to the standard injection protocol. Additionally, to evaluate the performance of the individualised injection protocols in CCTA with regard to subjective image quality (4-point Likert scale), compared to the standard injection protocol. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To detect and assess the presence and severity of CAD in patients undergoing CCTA with help of the CAD-RADS classification. The personalised injection protocols will make detection and assessment of coronary plaques possible, because the intravascular attenuation and image quality will be sufficient. | — |
