Radiologic technologists placing IVs for CT and MRI scans
This study looks at whether specially trained radiologic technologists can safely place the IV needed for contrast-enhanced CT or MRI scans. It aims to see if this approach works well for patients.

This trial tests a system where nurses and AI work together to place IV lines in patients getting CT or MRI scans with contrast dye. This could make the process smoother and more comfortable for you.
This study compares two ways to place an IV (a small tube that gives you medicine or fluids through a vein). One method uses ultrasound to find the best vein, the other uses the traditional method. It aims to see if ultrasound helps make IV placement easier and more successful.
This study tests whether special imaging devices help doctors place IVs more successfully in children. If your child needs an IV for a surgery or procedure, this could make the process easier and less stressful.
This trial tests whether using ultrasound or infrared light makes it easier to place an IV line in people whose veins are hard to see or feel. It compares these methods to the usual way of placing an IV.
This Phase 4 study looks at how to place a large IV line (called a central line) in the emergency department using ultrasound guidance. It may help patients by improving how safely and effectively these lines are placed, especially in urgent situations.
This study compares two ways of placing an IV when it is hard to find a vein in the emergency room: a midline catheter (a longer tube placed deeper in the arm) and an ultrasound-guided IV (using sound waves to find the vein). The goal is to see which method works better for patients like you who have difficult IV access.
