ULTRASOUND

This study is testing a simple visual guide to help parents and medical staff find a specific vein on a child's forearm before surgery. The goal is to place a numbing cream patch in the right spot, which could make it easier to insert an IV line later. Researchers will use ultras…

This study aims to find the best way to detect liver cancer early in people with advanced liver disease (cirrhosis). Researchers will follow 600 adults with cirrhosis, comparing two scanning methods—ultrasound and a shorter MRI—to see which is more effective at spotting cancer. T…

This study is testing a new AI tool designed to measure a patient's total blood volume before surgery using only ultrasound videos. Researchers will enroll 800 adults scheduled for surgery to see if the AI can accurately estimate blood volume by analyzing videos of four major blo…

This large study aims to find out if a robotic ultrasound system can find breast cancer as effectively as a human sonographer. It will involve 70,000 women aged 35-64 who have no history of breast cancer. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive their screening ultrasoun…

This study is testing a new 3D ultrasound imaging method to better detect dangerous plaque buildup in the neck arteries (carotid arteries). The goal is to see if this new 3D scan can spot tiny, fragile blood vessels growing inside these plaques, which is a sign they might rupture…

This study is testing two new types of ultrasound imaging to see if they can better assess the health of the placenta in pregnant women. Researchers will compare 60 women with healthy pregnancies to those whose babies are not growing as expected (fetal growth restriction). The go…

This study is testing if a quick, non-invasive eye ultrasound can help doctors detect dangerous brain swelling and inflammation in hospitalized patients. It will involve 200 adults in intensive care with conditions like stroke, meningitis, or brain tumors. Researchers will compar…

This study aims to see if ultrasound scans of the heart, lungs, and diaphragm can help doctors better predict when a patient in the surgical intensive care unit (ICU) is ready to breathe on their own after using a ventilator. Researchers will scan 190 adult patients and compare t…

This study is testing whether a specific nerve-blocking injection, guided by ultrasound, can reduce the body's stress response and improve pain control for adults having umbilical hernia repair surgery. Researchers will compare the injection to standard care in 100 participants. …

This study compares two different nerve block techniques for pain relief after weight loss surgery. Researchers want to see which method provides better pain control and reduces the need for opioid pain medications. The study involves 70 adults undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gast…

This study aims to understand how bedside lung ultrasound can help monitor critically ill pregnant women and gynecological patients in intensive care. Researchers will observe 64 patients to see what lung problems ultrasound can detect and whether these findings relate to patient…

This study aims to understand how the severity of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) affects a person's sleep quality. Researchers will compare 120 patients with CTS to healthy people, using ultrasound scans to measure nerve swelling and questionnaires to assess pain and sleep patterns…

This study aims to find out if training anesthesiologists to use ultrasound guidance for spinal anesthesia leads to better results than the traditional 'feel-by-touch' method. Doctors will be trained in one of the two techniques using medical simulators and then perform the proce…

This study aims to better understand the signals seen on lung ultrasound scans in people with chronic lung diseases like COPD and interstitial lung disease. Researchers will collect ultrasound images and breathing data from 25 hospitalized and outpatient participants to learn how…
