Using AI to analyze the superficial femoral artery for better treatment of artery disease

Official title: Histological Segmentation of the Superficial Femoral Artery From Microscan to CT Using Artificial Intelligence: a Feasibility Study (CTPred)

Run by University Hospital, Strasbourg, France · NCT06260488 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study is testing if an AI tool can help doctors better understand the types of plaque in the superficial femoral artery from CT scans to improve treatment for people with peripheral artery disease.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates for this study are adults scheduled for transfemoral amputation due to peripheral artery disease and who have a CT scan as part of their standard care.

Probably not a fit

Patients in emergency situations or those unable to provide informed consent will not benefit from this study.

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

What this trial studies

This study aims to evaluate the technical feasibility of using an artificial intelligence algorithm to perform histological segmentation of the superficial femoral artery segment (FPAS) from preoperative CT scans. The research focuses on differentiating various types of atheromatous plaques that can affect treatment outcomes in patients with peripheral artery disease. By analyzing the anatomical and pathological characteristics of these plaques, the study seeks to provide initial data that could support a larger scale study to validate the diagnostic capabilities of this automated segmentation approach.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved diagnostic accuracy and treatment strategies for patients with peripheral artery disease.

How similar studies have gone: While the approach of using AI for histological segmentation is innovative, similar studies have shown promise in improving diagnostic capabilities in vascular conditions.
