Study of a portable scanner for bruise detection after head injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests a portable device that can quickly scan bruises after a head injury. It may help doctors see brain bleeds without needing another CT scan.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 89 years old.
- You had a head CT scan when you arrived at the hospital.
- You can have the portable scan within 4 hours of your CT scan.
- Your doctors are not planning to do surgery for your head injury.
- You do not have large open wounds or skull injuries that make the scan uncomfortable.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study follows people with a moderate, non-penetrating traumatic brain injury (TBI) to see how small blood-vessel damage changes over time. It uses brain scans to learn what happens after a serious accident, which may help improve future care.
This study tests a new device called SENSE to see if it can detect traumatic brain injury (TBI) quickly. You may qualify if you have a TBI with bleeding seen on a CT scan, or if you are a healthy volunteer without brain problems.
This trial looks at a more targeted CT scan plan for people who are on blood thinners and have a head injury. It may help doctors decide who needs imaging right away and how to keep care safe and efficient.
This research uses advanced brain imaging (MRI) to understand how head injuries affect the brain's structure and connections. The goal is to develop personalized tools to predict recovery and guide treatment decisions for patients with moderate to severe head injuries.
This study collects medical and test information from people who have a confirmed brain injury (TBI) and arrive at the emergency room within 12 hours. Doctors hope the collected clinical and lab data will help better understand TBI and improve future care.
This study looks at whether a safe, bedside ultrasound of the head (using sound waves) can give similar information to a CT scan (which uses X-rays) for children with brain injuries. If successful, it might help reduce radiation exposure in the future.
