Quantitative spinal ultrasonography for tethered cord
Investigation of Spinal Cord Stiffness Using US Elastography
Brief description of study.
The purpose of this study is to learn whether US Elastography can provide information regarding changes in the stiffness of the tethered spinal cord compared to normal spinal cords.
Detailed description of study
The purpose of this study is to learn whether US Elastography can provide information regarding changes in the stiffness of the tethered spinal cord compared to normal spinal cords.
Eligibility of study
You may be eligible for this study if you meet the following criteria:
- Conditions: tethered cord
-
Age: 100 years or below
-
Gender: All
This study investigates the use of US Elastography to understand changes in the stiffness of tethered spinal cords compared to normal spinal cords. US Elastography is a technique that uses ultrasound waves to measure the stiffness of tissues, which can help in assessing various medical conditions.
Participants in this study will undergo US Elastography procedures to measure the stiffness of their spinal cords. This process involves using ultrasound technology to capture images and data about the spinal cord's stiffness, providing valuable insights into its condition.
- Who can participate: The study is open to individuals aged 18 and older with a tethered spinal cord condition as well as those with normal spinal cords for comparison.
- Study details: Participants will undergo US Elastography to assess tissue stiffness, capturing images and data of the spinal cord to evaluate its condition.
