NCT06841887

Brief Summary

This is a single-center observational study aimed at setting up and testing new ultrasound vascular imaging protocols, conducted exclusively for research purposes. The study will perform US examinations in 60 subjects. The subjects enrolled in the study will be examined the first time and will then provide consent to be examined again in the future if needed. The primary aim of this study is to set-up and test new advanced US protocol for the arm and cerebral blood vessels The secondary objectives will be:

  • Define ranges of normality/reference values of US-based parameters to be compared with pathological values.
  • Evaluate the repeatability and reproducibility of the acquired US measurements.
  • Evaluate the correlation between age and the acquired US measurements.
  • Evaluate the correlation between gender and the acquired US measurements.

Sampling MethodNon-Probability Sample
Study Population

Participation in this study will be proposed to subjects with no previous history of kidney or cerebral disease, and no pathologies that might have affected the vascular system (hypertension, diabetes). Sixty subjects will be studied, 30 females and 30 males. For both genders, they must be equally distributed within 3 age-groups: 18-40 years, 41-55 years and 56-75 years.

You may qualify if:

  • Provision of informed consent prior to any study specific procedures
  • Female and/or male aged between 18 and 75 years
  • No previous history of kidney or cerebral disease and no pathologies that might have affected the vascular system

You may not qualify if:

  • Previous history of kidney or cerebral disease or pathologies that might have affected the vascular system
  • Legal incapacity, limited legal capacity, intellectual disability, uncooperative attitude or any other evidence that the subject will not be able to understand the study aims and procedures
