Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults 18 years or older with suspected vascular insufficiency who are scheduled for ultrasound testing at the wound center.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients not undergoing ultrasound evaluation as part of their wound center visit or those who do not desire access to enhanced 3D imaging visualization may not benefit.

What this trial studies
PIUR Infinity tUS provides rapid, noninvasive 3D imaging of blood vessels to visualize areas of vascular insufficiency. The study uses this imaging to create educational visuals that accompany standard ultrasound studies and patient portals. It aims to improve patient understanding and potentially streamline referrals by reducing the need for additional imaging modalities. The trial is conducted at the Northwell Health Comprehensive Wound Center and focuses on adults with suspected vascular insufficiency undergoing scheduled ultrasound evaluation.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, patients may gain clearer visual explanations of their vascular disease, which could improve treatment adherence and reduce unnecessary additional imaging.
How similar studies have gone: Previous ultrasound-based visualization tools have shown promise in improving patient understanding, though this specific 3D freehand tomographic approach is novel in this setting.
