About this study

Official title: Impact of Volume Imaging With Ultrasound

Determine if volume imaging can diagnose bone, ligament, muscle injuries.

Read the detailed description

The investigators are attempting to determine if Volume imaging (a new type of ultrasound imaging)can accurately diagnose injuries of the muscle ligaments, tendons and bones when compared to conventional ultrasound imaging.

Being tested
Ultrasound Scan, Ultrasound Scan using a General Electric Ultrasound Scanner Model Logiq E9 (model name).
Medical subject headings
Tendon Injuries

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Ultrasound ScanProcedure or surgery

    Also called Volumetric Ultrasound, 3D Ultrasound Imaging, Volume Imaging

    Subject will be required to lie flat for no longer than 3 minutes to complete a volume imaging ultrasound scan of the injured area. Following the volume imaging scan a conventional ultrasound scan will be completed as ordered by their clinician.

  • Ultrasound Scan using a General Electric Ultrasound Scanner Model Logiq E9 (model name).Device

    The subject will be required to lie flat for approximately 5 to 10 minutes to complete a conventional ultrasound scan to x-ray the muscle and tendon injuries.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Accuracy of 3D Ultrasound Scanning Expressed as Percent Correlation Between Images From Conventional Ultrasound and Volume Imaging

    Both ultrasound and volume imaging scans were done on the same day. For all scanned patients, the ultrasound technologist took a volume of images focusing where the patient had symptoms. The study PI reviewed the images, then went back in to do second scan. It took 5 to 10 minutes to complete a conventional ultrasound scan and up to 3 minutes to complete a volume imaging ultrasound scan.

    Measured: Up to 13 minutes

Timeline

From the start of the study to its completion; the mark is today. Estimated dates are the sponsor’s plan.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Ultrasound Scan and Ultrasound Scan using a General Electric Ultrasound Scanner Model Logiq E9 (model name). in people with Bone Injuries and Muscle Injuries, run by University of Michigan at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Jan 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 19 Aug 2014). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Accuracy of 3D Ultrasound Scanning Expressed as Percent Correlation Between Images From Conventional Ultrasound and Volume Imaging (time frame: Up to 13 minutes). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 19 Jan 2018.
