U.S., Aug. 13 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07117513) titled 'Heterogeneity Index in Neonatologist-performed Lung Ultrasound in Neonates Receiving Respiratory Support - a Pilot Study' on Aug. 05.
Brief Summary: Lung ultrasound is an increasingly valuable diagnostic tool in neonatal intensive care due to its safety and accessability.
This pilot study investigates whether a quantitative approach - the heterogeneity index, previously only used in fetal lung assessment - can enhance the diagnostic accuracy of neonatologist-performed lung ultrasound (NPLUS). The index will be calculated from raw ultrasound images of preterm and term neonates and compared with conventional lung ultrasound scores to...
