Bioimpedance for Ortho Trauma

A Pilot Study on the Technical Feasibility of an Electrical Impedance Tomography Device for Soft Tissue Injury Following High Energy Extremity Fractures


Sponsor

Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center

Enrollment

30 participants

Start Date

Mar 20, 2025

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

Patients with high-energy extremity trauma will undergo imaging with an EIT device in the Emergency Department, Operating Room, Orthopaedic Clinic, and In-patient hospital rooms. The EIT device is an electrical impedance tomography system.
