Clinical Trial Summary

Traumatic and non-traumatic soft tissue hematomas are frequently encountered in the acute care setting. The incidence of these hematomas appears to be on the rise secondary to the increased use of anticoagulants among older patients for a variety of medical conditions. The management of soft tissue hematomas depends on the accurate diagnosis of any ongoing bleeding as well as of identification of the injured vessel type. While the majority of cases can be managed conservatively, expanding hematomas leading to hemodynamic instability or ongoing blood loss might require embolization or surgical intervention. The mainstay diagnostic imaging modality is multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) with intravenous contrast that allows accurate assessment of hematoma size, location as well as evaluation for active extravasation. However, many patients cannot undergo CT imaging due to underlying kidney disease, allergy to contrast, or due to concerns for radiation exposure, especially in young age. Currently there are no alternative tests for these patients with a similarly high diagnostic accuracy available. This study intends to establish an imaging protocol and investigate the utility of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in the diagnostic work-up of soft tissue hematoma as an ionizing radiation-free alternative to computed tomography (CT) that can be used independent from the kidney function of the patient.
