Impact of Volume Imaging With Ultrasound

Determine if volume imaging can diagnose bone, ligament, muscle injuries.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

The investigators are attempting to determine if Volume imaging (a new type of ultrasound imaging)can accurately diagnose injuries of the muscle ligaments, tendons and bones when compared to conventional ultrasound imaging.

Design Details

  • Primary Purpose: Diagnostic
  • Allocation: N/A
  • Interventional Model: Single Group Assignment
  • Masking: None (Open Label)

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Volume Imaging scan
New type of ultrasound scan using General Electric US scanner, Model is a GE Logiq E9.
Subject will be required to lie flat for no longer than 3 minutes to complete a volume imaging ultrasound scan of the injured area. Following the volume imaging scan a conventional ultrasound scan will be completed as ordered by their clinician.
Other Names:
  • Volumetric Ultrasound
  • 3D Ultrasound Imaging
  • Volume Imaging
The subject will be required to lie flat for approximately 5 to 10 minutes to complete a conventional ultrasound scan to x-ray the muscle and tendon injuries.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Accuracy of 3D Ultrasound Scanning Expressed as Percent Correlation Between Images From Conventional Ultrasound and Volume Imaging
Time Frame: Up to 13 minutes
Both ultrasound and volume imaging scans were done on the same day. For all scanned patients, the ultrasound technologist took a volume of images focusing where the patient had symptoms. The study PI reviewed the images, then went back in to do second scan. It took 5 to 10 minutes to complete a conventional ultrasound scan and up to 3 minutes to complete a volume imaging ultrasound scan.
Up to 13 minutes
