What this trial studies

The Oxford Risk Factors And Non-Invasive Imaging Study (ORFAN) is a prospective, multi-centre observational study aimed at developing and validating novel biomarkers for cardiometabolic diseases. It will collect CT scans, biological samples, and clinical outcomes data from unselected patients undergoing various CT scans at participating centers. By linking imaging data with patient demographics and clinical information, the study seeks to enhance diagnosis and risk prediction through advanced image analysis algorithms. Additionally, it will track disease progression and outcomes through follow-up scans and data collection.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved diagnostic tools and risk assessment for cardiovascular diseases.

How similar studies have gone: Other studies utilizing similar imaging and biomarker approaches have shown promise, indicating potential for success in this novel application.
