Clinical Trial: Assessment of SMI (Superb Microvascular Imaging) for Characterising the Endocystic Material of Papillary Intraductal Mucinous Pancreatic Tumours (PIMPT)

U.S., June 24 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07663734) titled 'Assessment of SMI (Superb Microvascular Imaging) for Characterising the Endocystic Material of Papillary Intraductal Mucinous Pancreatic Tumours (PIMPT)' on June 17.

Brief Summary: There are many types of pancreatic cysts, and papillary intraductal mucinous pancreatic tumours (PIMPTs) are among the most common.

PIMPTs carry a risk of progressing to a cancerous lesion. To assess this risk, the key examination involves performing an endoscopic ultrasound combined with an injection of a contrast agent called Sonovue.

Superb Microvascular Imaging (SMI) is a new ultrasound modality that enables the analysis of PIMPTs without the need f...
