Ultrasound imaging to examine knee osteoarthritis

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational project uses ultrasound and standard X-ray imaging to compare how well each method identifies the grade and complications of knee osteoarthritis. Symptomatic adults over 30 presenting to the radiology department with unilateral or bilateral knee pain will receive ultrasound and X-ray imaging. Images will be correlated to determine concordance in grading and detection of features such as osteophytes, effusion, and cartilage changes. No therapeutic intervention is given; findings are compared for diagnostic performance.
