About this trial

The ability to have a visual aid to depict areas of vascular disease that are affecting the patient's health can help in patient comprehension of the problem. This comprehension can lead to better understanding of the issue and increase patient compliance to treatment. The hand drawn sketch produced by the ultrasound technologist provides an inadequate visualization of the vascular insufficiency that is causing the patient's symptoms.

PIUR imaging has developed PIUR Infinity tUS, a 3D freehand tomographic ultrasound system capable of rapid, safe and accurate reconstructive 3D quantifiable vascular imaging. This system will provide a low cost and reproducible imaging solution that will be an effective educational tool for people with vascular disease.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

30 Day re-admission

The primary endpoint of the study will be the treatment outcomes for the patients. We will review readmission rates (30 days from the day of the ultrasound) as well as compliance to first follow-up appointment after the ultrasound of interventional cohort. These endpoints will be compared to those of a historical cohort of persons who were treated for similar pathologies in the past.

Time frame
30 Days after imaging
