Wrist positioning aid study for clearer wrist scans
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests a positioning aid that may help get clearer images when you get a wrist x-ray or scan. The aid will be used at certain hospitals in Newfoundland and Labrador to see if it works well in everyday care.

This study asks X-ray technicians and staff about the challenges they face when taking X-rays, to help improve imaging practices.
This study compares two types of wrist scans to see if a newer, faster cone beam scan can create images as good as the standard one. If you have a healthy wrist, you may help improve imaging for future patients.
This study tests a new ultrasound device that helps doctors see broken bones in the wrist, forearm, ankle, or lower leg, using sound waves instead of X-rays. If you are getting an X-ray for one of these injuries, your images may be checked with this new device to see if it works as well.
This trial is studying how to tell if a broken wrist (distal radius fracture) is stable enough to heal well. It will compare different ways of measuring the break on X-rays to find the best criteria for deciding if surgery is needed.
This study uses a special X-ray with contrast dye (CT arthrography) in addition to MRI to see inside your wrist more clearly. It may help doctors find and understand wrist injuries that are hard to see otherwise.
This study tests whether a CT scan can help doctors diagnose a specific type of wrist instability (scapholunate instability) more accurately. It looks at how well this imaging method works for adults, which might lead to better diagnosis and treatment planning.
