SUper-Resolution Ultrasound Imaging of Erythrocytes (SURE) in Normal and Malignant Lymph Nodes


Sponsor

Rigshospitalet, Denmark

Enrollment

100 participants

Start Date

Jun 28, 2022

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Summary

The goal of this observational study is to visualize the small vessels in normal and cancerous lymph nodes on the neck with a new ultrasound technique. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Is it possible to visualize the network of the smallest vessels in lymph nodes on the neck? * Is it possible to distinguish between healthy and cancerous lymph nodes using different parameters? The participants will have 1-2 lymph nodes ultrasound scanned with a standard ultrasound technique and the new technique.


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 YearsMax Age: 70 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is testing a new ultrasound imaging technique called SURE (super-resolution ultrasound imaging of red blood cells) to see if it can detect abnormal blood flow patterns in lymph nodes that may signal cancer, potentially offering a non-invasive way to identify malignant lymph nodes. **You may be eligible if...** - You are between 18 and 70 years old - You can lie still for about 1 minute - If healthy: you have a normal-looking lymph node in the neck available for imaging - If you have cancer: you have a lymph node that is suspected or confirmed to be malignant **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You cannot hold still during the ultrasound - You do not have an accessible lymph node suitable for imaging - You do not meet the health criteria for your group (healthy or cancer) Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
