Ultrasound study for children with kidney and urinary birth defects
This trial uses a special ultrasound technique to create detailed images of blood flow in the kidneys of children with congenital kidney and urinary tract conditions. It aims to improve how doctors assess blockages without needing radiation.
Erlangen, BavariaAges birth–6 years - NCT06876805Recruiting
Ultrasound contrast to check unclear liver spots
This trial uses a special ultrasound with contrast dye to get a clearer picture of liver spots that other scans (CT, MRI, or PET) couldn't fully identify. The goal is to see if this ultrasound can help doctors make a more accurate diagnosis.
BolognaAges 18 years+ - NCT07319416Recruiting
Ultrasound study for PRRT response in GEP-NET
This trial tests if a special ultrasound can help doctors see how well treatment is working for a type of slow-growing gut or pancreas cancer (GEP-NET). It may help guide your care if you are starting a therapy called PRRT (peptide receptor radionuclide therapy).
Rome, RomeAges 18 years+ - NCT03490929RecruitingPhase 4
Ultrasound contrast test for abdominal injuries in children
This trial checks whether a special ultrasound (with contrast) can help doctors evaluate blunt abdominal injuries in children. It may reduce the need for rushed decisions by improving how internal injuries are seen quickly and safely.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges birth–17 years - NCT05416385Recruiting
Stress echo scan with special contrast to study carotid plaque
This study uses a heart stress ultrasound test, plus a contrast dye, to look for new blood vessel growth inside carotid plaque (the buildup in neck arteries). It may help doctors better judge the risk of stroke and determine which people need closer care.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 18 years+ - NCT05627908Recruiting
PseAn study for adults with certain organ injuries
This trial is for adults who have had a CT-confirmed injury to the spleen, liver, and/or kidney from blunt or penetrating trauma. The goal is to study this type of injury and compare how patients do after treatment.
Milan, ItaliaAges 18 years+ - NCT06146764Recruiting
Better ultrasound for thyroid cancer diagnosis
This study uses a special ultrasound method called contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) to see if it can improve accuracy of diagnosing thyroid cancer. If you have a thyroid nodule and have had certain tests, this trial may help doctors better understand your condition.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT06590948Recruiting
Using ultrasound features to classify liver nodules
This trial looks at whether special features seen on contrast-enhanced ultrasound can help doctors better classify liver nodules using a system called LI-RADS. It’s for people at high risk for liver cancer who have recent imaging and clear tissue diagnosis.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT06444269RecruitingPhase 2
Precision radiation before surgery for early hormone-positive breast cancer
This trial tests a focused radiation treatment before surgery for early-stage breast cancer that is hormone receptor positive and HER2 negative. The goal is to give precise radiation only to the tumor, with the hope of reducing side effects and improving outcomes.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06727162Recruiting
Ultrasound to check lymph nodes after head and neck cancer treatment
This trial uses contrast-enhanced ultrasound (a special type of ultrasound) to see how well neck lymph nodes respond to chemotherapy and immunotherapy given before surgery for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges Any age - NCT06739473RecruitingPhase 4
How obesity affects glucose use in the body
This trial looks at how the body uses sugar (glucose) for energy in people with and without obesity. Results could help find better treatments for metabolic conditions.
TurkuAges 20–60 - NCT07294859Recruiting
Ultrasound to predict kidney function after kidney removal
This trial uses special ultrasound techniques to predict how well your remaining kidney will work after surgery to remove part or all of one kidney. It may help doctors understand your recovery and tailor follow-up care.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT07310758RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Using ultrasound contrast to detect sentinel nodes in cancer
This trial tests whether contrast-enhanced ultrasound can help find sentinel lymph nodes (the first nodes cancer may spread to) in people with melanoma, breast, or head and neck cancer. It may reduce the need for a radioactive tracer injection.
Amsterdam, North HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT01732523Recruiting
Check if extra blood-vessel growth predicts stroke risk in carotid narrowing
This study looks at an imaging test to see whether signs of new blood-vessel growth in an artery predict future stroke risk in people who have carotid artery narrowing but no symptoms. If it works, it could help doctors identify who may need closer monitoring or preventive treatment.
BaselAges 18 years+ - NCT06846814Enrolling by invitation
Ultrasound after contrast mammography to check extra breast lesions
This trial tests whether doing a follow-up ultrasound after a special type of mammogram (contrast-enhanced mammography) can better understand extra breast spots that need more checking. It might help doctors give a clearer diagnosis.
NaplesAges 18 years+ - NCT06838117Enrolling by invitation
Breast density and contrast mammography study
This study looks at how breast density affects background enhancement in contrast-enhanced mammography. It aims to create a standardized way to report these findings, which could help improve breast cancer screening.
BrindisiAges 18 years+ - NCT07225114RecruitingPhase 2
Better ultrasound imaging with contrast before biopsy
This trial tests a new, detailed ultrasound technique that uses a contrast agent (called Definity) to get clearer images of a suspicious area before a biopsy. It may help doctors better see the blood flow in the lesion, which could improve diagnosis.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT05474573Recruiting
Laser-guided removal of brain tumors using special light
This study tests a method to help surgeons find and remove brain tumors that show up on MRI with contrast dye (often high-grade gliomas and brain metastases). If you newly have one of these tumors, the trial may help improve how completely tumors can be removed while protecting important brain areas.
MoscowAges 18–79 - NCT05749250Recruiting
Ultrasound treatment for severe leg artery disease ulcers
This trial studies a specific ultrasound-based treatment aimed at improving healing of severe circulation-related ulcers in the legs. It may help if you have poor blood flow and a wound that hasn’t improved despite usual care.
Charlottesville, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06793839Recruiting
3D ultrasound imaging after brain bleed
This trial tests a new 3D ultrasound technique to see if it can better visualize blood flow in the brain after a subarachnoid hemorrhage (bleeding around the brain). It may help doctors monitor and treat patients more effectively.
CaenAges 18 years+ - NCT06635980RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation before or after breast cancer surgery
This trial compares two ways of giving radiation for breast cancer that has not spread: before or after surgery. It aims to see if giving radiation first might work as well or better.
