Observational Study Using Resona 9 Ultrasound to Develop New Vascular Imaging Protocols for Adults 18 to 75 Years Old

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are conducting an observational study to develop and test new advanced ultrasound imaging protocols focused on vascular health in the arm and brain. This study aims to establish normal reference values for ultrasound parameters, assess measurement consistency, and explore correlations between these measurements and factors like age and gender. It is performed exclusively for research purposes using a state-of-the-art ultrasound machine called Resona 9. The study uses the Resona 9 ultrasound system equipped with innovative features to capture detailed images and 3D models of blood vessels in the non-dominant arm and neck carotid arteries. Sixty adult participants, divided by gender and age groups, will undergo ultrasound examinations at enrollment, with consent sought for possible future repeat scans. This approach allows researchers to refine imaging protocols and collect data for comparison with pathological cases. Participants will visit once for ultrasound scans of the specified vascular regions, during which multiple measurements will be taken to evaluate the new protocols. The study will monitor the reproducibility of these measurements and analyze how age and gender relate to vascular imaging results. Participation involves non-invasive imaging procedures without treatment or medication, and subjects may be asked to return for additional scans if needed. The study is expected to run until March 2027.
