A Study of Multiparametric Ultrasound Imaging Methods (NCT07270237)

Development and Evaluation of Ultrasound Imaging Acquisition and Analysis Methods

🟢 Recruiting Observational / Diagnostic 📋 Clinical Research Protocol Sponsor: Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center

🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

The researchers are doing this study to see how well a type of ultrasound imaging called multiparametric ultrasound (mpUS), can be used to examine, evaluate, and provide information about different cancerous and non-cancerous tissue. The researchers will compare the results of mpUS imaging to standard ultrasound imaging and other standard tests. mpUS imaging is a type of ultrasound imaging that combines different ultrasound methods and analysis to create a more detailed and accurate assessment of tissue. Standard ultrasound provides a basic image of tissue structure, but mpUS imaging can also show blood vessels, blood flow, and detailed tissue structure (microstructure). The researchers think that mpUS may be a better way for evaluating cancer because it combines different ultrasound methods to assess tissue.

Who can join: To join this study, participants generally need to meet the listed inclusion criteria (33 items) and avoid the listed exclusions (5 items).
