About this trial

This is an interventional diagnostic trial for Joint Abnormalities focused on measuring Arthrogram, Contrast, Joint, Ultrasound

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • clinically ordered arthrogram

Exclusion Criteria:

  • pregnant women
  • children under the age of 18

Sites / Locations

  • University of Michigan Hospital

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm 2

Arm Type

Experimental

Experimental

Arm Label

Ultrasound Pre-Arthrogram

Ultrasound Post-Arthrogram

Arm Description

Ultrasound of the joint(s) before the clinically scheduled arthrogram of the same joint(s)

Ultrasound of the joint(s) after the clinically scheduled arthrogram of the same joint(s), performed while the body still has a contrast agent in it from the arthrogram. The contrast agent varies with different joint areas, but is usually iodine based (like Ultravist.)

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

To add to the general knowledge of the researchers and to possibly benefit future patients in the diagnosis and treatment of joint abnormalities.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine the usefulness of contrast in ultrasonography of the joints.
Detailed Description
To determine if using intra-articular contrast (contrast injected into a joint) will provide clearer, more precise ultrasound images of the joints then an ultrasound done without the use of a contrast agent.

Ultrasound
Intervention Description
Ultrasound of the joint(s) after a clinically scheduled arthrogram is performed. Ultrasound images will then be compared to the arthrogram findings, other imaging findings such as MRI and surgical pathological findings such as arthroscopy (if any.)
