Clinical Trial: Ultrasound with Subharmonic Imaging and Subharmonic Aided Pressure Estimation (SHAPE) to Identify Portal Hypertension

U.S., Jan. 29 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT06797193) titled 'Ultrasound with Subharmonic Imaging and Subharmonic Aided Pressure Estimation (SHAPE) to Identify Portal Hypertension' on Jan. 22.

Brief Summary: This clinical trial tests the how well an ultrasound with subharmonic imaging and the subharmonic aided pressure estimation (SHAPE) technique works in identifying portal hypertension (PH). An ultrasound takes pictures of the inside of the body by bouncing sound waves off organs. PH is high blood pressure in the vein that carries blood to the liver from the stomach, small and large intestines, spleen, pancreas, and gallbladder. The complications associated with PH are clear only after sever...
