ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a new type of imaging called 3D ultrasound to help better understand and visualize problems with blood flow, particularly in patients with Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) and other vascular issues. The goal is to create clearer images of the blood vessels that can help patients understand their condition better, which may lead to improved adherence to treatment plans. The new imaging system, called PIUR Infinity tUS, aims to provide a safe, effective, and low-cost way to see these problems in three dimensions.

To be eligible to participate, you need to be at least 18 years old and have suspected blood flow issues that require an ultrasound evaluation. You should also have a scheduled appointment for an ultrasound at a wound center and be able to sign a consent form. If you join this study, you can expect to have your blood vessels scanned using this new 3D ultrasound technology, which could help both you and your healthcare team understand your condition better. The trial is not yet recruiting participants, so there will be more information available when it begins.
