ULTRASOUND

This trial tests whether using a portable ultrasound device during coronary artery bypass surgery can improve outcomes by letting surgeons see blood flow through the new grafts in real time. About 380 adults scheduled for elective bypass surgery will be randomly assigned to eithe…

This trial tests whether adding a chemical injection to microwave ablation improves treatment for uterine fibroids, common non-cancerous tumors that can cause heavy bleeding and pain. Microwave ablation uses heat to destroy fibroid tissue, but blood flow can cool the area and red…

This study tests whether a personalized exercise program based on muscle structure works better than a standard eccentric heel-drop program for people with chronic Achilles tendinopathy. Twenty adults with mid-tendon pain for at least 3 months will be randomly assigned to one of …

This study explores whether ultrasound can reliably measure aneurysms in the descending thoracic aorta, the part of the main artery that runs through the chest. Researchers will compare ultrasound measurements with standard CT scans in about 60 adults, including some with known a…

This trial compares two methods for inserting a central line into the internal jugular vein: using ultrasound guidance versus the traditional landmark technique. The study measures how many needle adjustments are needed, first-attempt success, and total time to access the vein. R…

This study will test a new, high-speed ultrasound device on 10 healthy women pregnant with identical twins who share a placenta. The goal is to see if the device can take detailed pictures of the tiny blood vessels in the placenta. This information could help doctors better under…

This study explores whether a simple ultrasound and a blood test can track celiac disease activity, potentially replacing the need for invasive intestinal biopsies. Researchers will scan the small bowel and measure antibody levels in 140 people, including newly diagnosed patients…

This study tests whether a new, non-invasive AI-assisted simulation training helps anesthesia residents improve their ultrasound-guided needle skills. Thirty residents will be randomly assigned to either the new simulation training or standard teaching. The main goal is to see if…
