Healthy Volunteer Visibility Study of Micromachined Tags for the Detection of Surgical Sponges

Early Phase 1

Withdrawn

• Conditions: Injury Due to Foreign Object Accidentally Left in Body During Surgical Operation

• Registration Number: NCT02009566
• Lead Sponsor: University of Michigan

Brief Summary

Surgical sponges can be accidentally left inside patient's bodies. We are working on special tags (called microfabricated tags) that surgeons can put on their sponges. Then, if the surgeons forget to remove a sponge from a patient, they'll be able to detect these special tags in an x-ray.

Detailed Description

Surgical sponges can be accidentally left inside patient's bodies. We are working on special tags (called microfabricated tags) that surgeons can put on their sponges. Then, if the surgeons forget to remove a sponge from a patient, they'll be able to detect these special tags in an x-ray. We wish to take x-rays of healthy people's abdomens with microfabricated tags lying on them. The x-rays will help us improve our system for detecting sponges left inside people's bodies.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Validate the CAD (computer aided detection) system	3 years	X-rays of the microfabricated tag will be taken. These x-rays will be reviewed and the individual tags identified manually and a control file created. The images will then be processed by the CAD (computer aided detection)system and the output will be compared to the control file.
