What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only This study
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published

Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study compares how radiologists read bone age X-rays when assisted by a real AI versus a fake AI that gives random results. The goal is to see if the AI actually improves consistency. Only 8 radiologists are taking part, and the study focuses on measuring differences in their readings, not on treating any condition.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Artificial intelligence software (device)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could show that AI helps radiologists read bone age X-rays more accurately and consistently.
What could go wrong
This is a very small study (8 participants) and only measures differences in readings, not patient outcomes. The AI may not improve accuracy in real-world settings.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 8 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Started

Sep 2025

Expected to finish

Aug 2026

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Ages

Children (under 18), adults (18 to 64) and older adults (65 and over)

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Not accepted

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Exams read by radiologists who interpret pediatric skeletal age exams and verbally consent to participate Exclusion Criteria: * Exams containing more than one radiograph will not be included. No further exclusion criteria will be applied on the basis of image quality metrics or manufacturers
