Clinical Study to Assess Change in Upper Airway Geometry Between Upright and Supine Position

• Status: Completed
• Phase: Phase 1
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 20 (actual)
• Sponsor: FLUIDDA nv · Industry
• Sex: All
• Age: 18 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Accepted

Summary

In this study the changes in upper airway geometry and resistance between images, obtained in upright and supine position, will be evaluated. Therefore a Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) scan and a low dose Computed Tomography (CT) scan will be taken in a population of 20 subjects. The upright morphology will be obtained using CBCT scan while the supine upper airway geometry will be determined using a standard High Resolution Computed Tomography (HRCT) scanner.

Conditions

• Changes in Upper Airway Geometry

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
RADIATION	Cone Beam Computed Tomography	CBCT scan of upper airway, in upright position.
RADIATION	High Resolution Computed Tomography	HRCT scan of upper airway, in supine position.
