Assessment of Accuracy, Precision, and Feasibility of a Handheld Near-Infrared Light Device (InfraScanner 2000™) in Detecting Subdural and Epidural Hematomas in Patients Admitted to Duke University Hospital: A Pilot Study
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating InfraScanner 2000™ for Head Trauma and 15 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 500 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The goal of this study is to determine the sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values of the a portable near-infrared-based device (portable NIR-based device), the InfraScanner 2000™, to detect intracranial hematomas (epidural hematomas (EDH) and/or subdural hematomas (SDH)) in patients hospitalized at Duke University Hospital (DUH) who have sustained or who are suspected to have sustained head trauma and have consequently received a brain computed tomography (CT) scan(s).

Timeline
Interventions
The Infrascanner is a portable screening device that uses Near-Infrared (NIR) technology to screen patients for intracranial bleeding, identifying those who would most benefit from immediate referral to a CT scan and neurosurgical intervention.
