SHAPE for ICP Assessment
- Registration Number
- NCT06571786
- Lead Sponsor
- Thomas Jefferson University
- Brief Summary
The Subharmonic Aided Pressure Estimation (SHAPE) technique is a noninvasive ultrasound-based imaging technique that can estimate ambient pressure using subharmonic emissions from ultrasound contrast agents. Ultrasound contrast agents are encapsulated microbubbles (mean diameter \< 8 µm) with a lipid, protein, or polymer shell that traverse the entire vascul...
