Comparing regular and portable ultrasounds for viral hepatitis
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study compares a regular ultrasound done in the hospital with a small, portable ultrasound device for people with viral hepatitis. The goal is to see if the portable device works as well as the standard machine, which could make ultrasounds easier to get.

This trial gathers expert doctors to create standard quality rules for liver ultrasound exams that use contrast dye. If you're a very experienced ultrasound doctor, your opinion could help shape future care.
This trial tests whether a small, portable ultrasound device works as well as a standard ultrasound machine to help nurses insert a peripheral IV line in patients whose veins are hard to find or access. It could lead to fewer needle sticks and less discomfort.
This trial tests a remote, automated ultrasound system that may allow you to get an ultrasound exam without the doctor being in the same room. The goal is to see if it works as well as a standard ultrasound and is safe to use.
This study compares a shorter, non-contrast MRI and ultrasound to monitor for liver cancer in people with cirrhosis whose ultrasound images aren’t clear enough. It aims to see which method works better and may help you get safer, more reliable follow-up.
This study uses a special ultrasound with a contrast agent to see if it can diagnose PSVD (a rare liver vessel disorder) without a biopsy. It compares people with PSVD to those with cirrhosis to find better, noninvasive ways to detect this condition.
This trial tests if a portable ultrasound device can help quickly evaluate breast lumps found during a physical exam. It aims to improve screening in places where standard mammography may not be available.
