NCT ID NCT07580976
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will test a new positioning aid called Tru-Vu that helps radiographers take clearer wrist x-rays. About 1,800 adults with wrist injuries or arthritis will be included across three different healthcare centers in Newfoundland and Labrador. Researchers want to see if the tool reduces the number of repeat x-rays and improves image quality, especially when comparing urban, rural, and remote hospitals.
