Temperature effect on vein ultrasound measurements
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study checks if room temperature changes the size of your veins seen on ultrasound. You will get two extra ultrasound scans so researchers can compare results.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are currently a patient at University Hospital Limerick under a vascular specialist
- You are 18 years or older
- You can agree to take part in the study
- You do not have varicose veins or vein problems
- Your doctor says you can safely have two ultrasound scans

This study tests whether measuring the size of a vein in your groin using ultrasound can help doctors decide if you need more fluids when you're critically ill in the ICU. The goal is to improve how doctors manage fluid treatment for patients on breathing machines.
This trial uses ultrasound to check for fluid buildup in veins of patients in the intensive care unit. It aims to see if this technique can help doctors manage treatment better.
This study tests whether using a type of infrared (IR) light before placing a standard IV line helps make your veins easier to see. It may help people who need an IV and are not on blood thinners or have certain conditions that affect vein health.
This study measures the properties of human saphenous and popliteal veins. If you’re having certain lower-leg procedures, your care team may collect information to better understand vein function and support future treatment.
This study uses a special camera to take pictures of your leg veins at different times to find the best moment for imaging. It may help improve how varicose veins are diagnosed.
This trial tests whether a mobile phone thermal imaging camera can identify faulty leg veins (called incompetent perforator veins) in people with chronic venous disease. It may replace more invasive diagnostic methods.
