Making a digital twin of the lung using photon-counting chest CT and clinical data

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational project will collect and analyze past and future clinical, anamnestic, functional, and biological data from adults who undergo non-contrast photon-counting chest CT at the enrolling center. Physicians will decide on contrast use as needed, and enrolled patients will provide written informed consent. Collected data will be processed with artificial intelligence methods to attempt to create a virtual 'digital twin' of the lung and to track suspicious lung changes over time alongside clinical and laboratory parameters. Enrollment will run for 12 months at the single participating site in Peschiera del Garda, Verona.

Why it matters

* written informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Lack of information regarding anamnestic data
* any reason why the investigator deems the patient unenrollable in the practice.
