Eligibility Criteria Checklist

Specific guidelines that determine who can or cannot participate in a clinical trial

Must have

Patients above the age of 18 who are planned to undergo non-urgent flap reconstructive surgery, specifically either an abdominally-based flap or an ALT flap, will be study candidates.

Be older than 18 years old

Timeline

Screening 3 weeks

Treatment Varies

Follow Up this questionnaire will be completed by patient at the time of the pact imaging visit. imaging visit will occur after the initial visit and before surgery up to 4 months.

Awards & highlights

Study Summary

This trial will test a new technology to see if it can help doctors better understand the blood flow to an area before surgery.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for adults over 18 who are scheduled for non-urgent reconstructive surgery using an abdominal or ALT flap. It's not suitable for those who've had similar surgeries before, can't have iodinated contrast or ionizing radiation, weigh over 300lbs, or need urgent surgery.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study is testing Photoacoustic Computed Tomography (PACT) Imaging to see if it improves visualization of blood supply in flaps used during reconstructive plastic surgery, compared to current imaging methods.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since PACT Imaging is non-invasive and does not involve ionizing radiation like CT scans do, the risk of side effects may be minimal. However, specific side effect information isn't provided here.
