Application of Forward-looking Infrared for the Identification and Evaluation of Fractures in the Acute Trauma Setting

NCT04197505 · Status: WITHDRAWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL

Last updated 2021-10-11

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The overall objective of this study is to (1) determine whether thermal imaging can be used during an acute trauma patient's secondary or tertiary survey to identify injury sites with an underlying fracture, and to (2) investigate whether thermal imaging can predict those patients whose fractures will result in a non-union.

Conditions

  • Acute Fracture

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

FLIR E95 camera

Video will be recorded during the thermal reading for later computer analysis. The following variables will be analyzed: (1) the difference between the mean temperature between the injured and healthy extremities, (2) the difference between the maximum temperatures of both the injured and healthy extremities (ΔTmax), and (3) the difference between the area covered by each isotherm in both the injured and uninjured extremities (Δpix). FLIR software tools and MATLAB software will be used for the analysis.
