Development and Evaluation of Techniques for Computer Aided Detection and Diagnosis From Existing Radiologic Images
NCT04579237 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
Background: Radiologic images are getting more complex. They are also being used more often. Medical personnel are overwhelmed with data. Computer Aided Detection (CAD) and diagnosis may be able to improve medical care. Researchers want to create and test ways to use CAD. To do this, they want to use data from the Clinical Center s Department of Diagnostic Radiology. Objective: To create algorithms and software that accurately detect and characterize lesions, model anatomy, and monitor diseases on radiologic studies. Eligibility: People of all ages who have radiologic exams stored in the clinical PACS (picture archiving system) of the Clinical Center since July 6, 1953 with no end date. People with target lesions of any kind will be included. Design: This study will use existing data. Participants will include males and females of all ages. They will be chosen by keyword search on NIH databases. The data that is used may include CT, MRI, ultrasound, and other images. It may include a participant s name, date of birth, and date of exam. It may include the name of the doctor, radiologist, and hospital. Data such as age, gender, race, disease, and treatment may be used. Other data from charts or studies may be used. Imaging data of all organs of the body will be studied. Data will be kept in computers and servers. The equipment will be password protected. Printouts will be stored in locked rooms. This study will last 10 years.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT04579237
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT04579237 describes a study currently listed as active not recruiting. It is categorized as an unspecified phase, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 144,625 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is National Institutes of Health Clinical Center (CC), which has 209 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Radiology Information Systems appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 0 interventions. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT04579237 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Maryland. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
