Assessment of Accuracy, Precision, and Feasibility of a Handheld Near-Infrared Light Device (InfraScanner 2500™) in Detecting Traumatic Intracranial Hemorrhage in Uganda
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating InfraScanner 2500™ for Head Trauma and 15 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 180 participants across 2 sites.
Detailed Summary
The goal of this study is to determine the sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values of the portable near-infrared-based device (portable NIR-based device), the InfraScanner 2500™, to detect intracranial hematomas (epidural hematomas (EDH) and/or subdural hematomas (SDH)) in patients hospitalized at Mbarara Regional Referral Hospital (MRRH) or Mayanja Memorial Hospital (MMH) who have sustained or who are suspected to have sustained head trauma.

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.
