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
Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center
30 participants
Mar 20, 2025
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.
