NCT ID: NCT03808649 Not yet recruiting - CTE Clinical Trials

Individualized Volume of Oral Contrast Agent in CT Enterography

Start date: January 20, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Small bowel distension is mandatory for the assessment of the bowel wall in CT enterography, but some patients were sufferring inadequate small bowel distension. So, it is important to prescribe personalized regimen according to patient's personal characteristics.

NCT ID: NCT03495804 Recruiting - CTE Clinical Trials

Evaluation of the Performance of Two Neutral Oral Contrast Agents in CT Enterography

Start date: November 1, 2017
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

CT enterography has become an important tool in the evaluation of small bowel diseases, especially in patients with inflammatory bowel diseases. There are several shortcomings of commonly used isotonic mannitol as an oral contrast agent, such as incident adverse reactions and gases in the gut. However, polyethylene glycol can avoid these drawbacks with a good performance in some pilot experiments.

NCT ID: NCT02003183 Completed - Clinical trials for TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury)

Traumatic Brain Injury and Risk for Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy

Start date: March 2013
Phase:
Study type: Observational

This project was designed to determine brain imaging patterns using 2-(1-{6-[(2-fluorine 18-labeled fluoroethyl)methylamino]-2-naphthyl}ethylidene)malononitrile ([F-18]FDDNP) with positron emission tomography (PET) in participants with suspected Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE), a progressive degenerative disease of the brain found in people with a history of repetitive traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), characterized by personality, behavioral, and mood disturbances, cognitive impairment, and sometimes motor symptoms. Currently, CTE can only be definitely diagnosed from neuropathological examination of the brain after autopsy. Developing tools to assist in the detection of this condition in living individuals at risk would facilitate research focusing on discovering potential prevention and treatment strategies.
