The Oxford Risk Factors And Non-Invasive Imaging Study

Join our study on heart health and non-invasive imaging.

18-99 years
All
Phase N/A

ORFAN is a study that looks at how different factors affect health using CT scans (a special kind of X-ray) and other health information. It aims to find new ways to predict and understand diseases, especially those affecting the heart and metabolism (how the body uses energy). The study involves collecting CT scans from both current and past patients, alongside their health information, to test new methods of analyzing these images. This helps doctors understand disease risks better and improves diagnosis. Participants will have their CT scans matched with blood tests, genetic info, and follow-up health data to track disease progression.

  • Study includes people aged 18-99, but excludes those with active cancer or who can't/won't consent.
  • Participation involves linking CT scans with health data, and there are no treatments given.
  • No monetary compensation is mentioned, but you'll contribute to valuable medical research.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
