Read our Coronary Artery Disease research guide →This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether a newer imaging system (Azurion with Xres5) can produce better heart images while using less radiation than the standard imaging system currently used during coronary angiography and intervention procedures. The study will randomly assign you to receive your procedure with either the newer imaging technology or the standard technology, and researchers will measure the radiation dose you and the medical staff receive during the procedure.
During heart catheterization procedures, doctors use X-ray imaging to see the heart's blood vessels, but X-rays expose patients and medical staff to radiation. Researchers want to know if this newer imaging technology can maintain or improve image quality while reducing radiation exposure for everyone in the room.
You will be randomly assigned to have your heart catheterization procedure performed using either the newer imaging system or the standard imaging system. The procedure itself will be performed according to your hospital's normal standards, and you will not experience any changes to your regular care or follow-up. The main difference will be which imaging technology is used during your procedure; researchers will then measure and compare the radiation doses and image quality between the two groups.
