ACTIVE NOT RECRUITING

Comparing Electrical Impedance Tomography to Computed Tomographic Angiography

NCT05546333 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗

Study Summary

The study aim is to determine whether electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is equivalent in the detection of pulmomary emboli compared to Computed Tomographic Angiography (CTA). EIT is a non-invasive, non-ionizing functional imaging technique that can be performed at bedside. Electrical impedance tomography data will be collected on individuals undergoing a CTA scan of the chest at Medical Center of the Rockies (MCR). The primary outcome measure is to assess whether assessment by CTA corresponds with EIT in detection of pulmonary emboli. The study will include up to 63 participants. EIT data will be collected for up to 20 minutes during tidal breathing and for approximately five to ten seconds during breath-holding.

What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT05546333

The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT05546333 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 63 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Colorado State University, which has 92 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 Pulmonary Embolism appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which Electrical impedance tomography is the first listed. 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: NCT05546333 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Colorado. 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.
