Automatic Characterization of the Neonatal Hip Using Ultrasound Imaging

NCT02796768 · Status: UNKNOWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 75

Last updated 2016-06-13

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Ultrasound imaging (US), a radiation-free imaging modality, is currently used in diagnosis of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) in infants. The current protocol involves manually identifying specific measures that are prone to error, and may give rise to false positives. We aim to use 2-dimensional (2D) and 3-dimensional (3D) ultrasound imaging to create an automatic measurement procedure that we hope will reduce the errors in measurement and increase reliability.

Conditions

  • Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip

Interventions

OTHER

3D US Scanning

3D ultrasound will be used by both clinicians to scan both the right and left hips of the infant.

OTHER

2D US Scanning

2D ultrasound will be used by both clinicians to scan both the right and left hips of the infant.
