Frequently Asked Questions
Are there any available slots for participants in this experiment?
"Accessing the clinicaltrials.gov portal, one can observe that this investigation into patient health is open for recruitment. The trial was published on May 26th 2022 and has been updated most recently on June 1st of the same year."
How many participants has this research project recruited?
"Affirmative. Clinicaltrials.gov hosts information indicating that the trial, originally posted on May 26th 2022, is actively seeking participants. 45 individuals from 1 site are necessary for this medical research to be successful."
What is the ultimate outcome that this clinical trial seeks to accomplish?
"The prime objective of this trial, with a planned duration of 1.5 years to complete all imaging, is to measure the Sensitivity of Acoustic Angiography; Breast Imaging (percentage-wise). Secondary outcomes encompass assessing the sensitivity and specificity of acoustic angiography against conventional ultrasound when employed in evaluating known breast lesions for malignancy prediction as well as thyroid lesion evaluation for cancer detection."
Is Acoustic Angiography a risk-free procedure for individuals?
"After due consideration, Acoustic Angiography was rated a 2 on the safety scale since this is still a Phase 2 trial and there's only limited evidence for its efficacy."
Could you elaborate on any other explorations of Acoustic Angiography?
"Presently, 19 clinical trials are underway regarding Acoustic Angiography. Among these studies, one is in its third phase of development. The majority of tests take place in Philadelphia but a total of 26 different sites have been allocated for study purposes."
For what diseases is Acoustic Angiography commonly employed?
"Acoustic Angiography is the go-to modality for echocardiography, but its potential applications are much broader. Medical experts often use it to diagnose cardiovascular diseases and left ventricular imaging as well."
