Not Applicable
Completed
- Conditions
- Joint Abnormalities
- Interventions
- Procedure: Ultrasound
- Registration Number
- NCT00724659
- Lead Sponsor
- University of Michigan
- Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine the usefulness of contrast in ultrasonography of the joints.
- Detailed Description
To determine if using intra-articular contrast (contrast injected into a joint) will provide clearer, more precise ultrasound images of the joints then an ultrasound done without the use of a contrast agent.

Group Intervention Description Ultrasound Pre-Arthrogram Ultrasound Ultrasound of the joint(s) before the clinically scheduled arthrogram of the same joint(s) Ultrasound Post-Arthrogram Ultrasound Ultrasound of the joint(s) after the clinically scheduled arthrogram of the same joint(s), performed while the body still has a contrast agent in it from the arthrogram. The contrast agent varies with different joint areas, but is usually iodine based (like Ultravist.)
