Ultrasound vs. CT: could a safer scan spot hidden bleeding after trauma?
NCT ID NCT05627908
First seen Apr 23, 2026 · Last updated May 01, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study compares contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) with standard CT scans to detect pseudoaneurysms (bulging blood vessel walls) in the spleen, liver, or kidneys after abdominal trauma. Researchers will enroll 385 adults with blunt or penetrating injuries to see if CEUS can safely replace CT during follow-up, potentially reducing radiation exposure. The goal is to improve monitoring of these injuries without sacrificing accuracy.
