NCT ID NCT04522219
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at whether using a contrast dye during ultrasound can help doctors more accurately diagnose adnexal torsion (twisted ovary), a painful emergency. The plan was to compare contrast-enhanced ultrasound to standard ultrasound in women scheduled for surgery. However, the study was stopped early after only 11 participants, so the findings are very limited.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
SonoVue® (contrast agent)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a faster, more accurate way to diagnose adnexal torsion in emergency settings.
What could go wrong
The study was terminated early with very few participants, so results are limited and may not be reliable. Contrast agents also carry risks for some patients.
