Brain Injuries, Traumatic | Device: Standard care plus infrascans |
MOBI-1 is a single-arm, multi-center derivation / validation study that will evaluate the use of the Infrascanner for monitoring traumatic intracranial hematomas. All patients will receive standard care plus hourly infrascanner assessments. This study will test the hypotheses that:
- The Infrascanner has sufficient diagnostic performance to detect the expansion of intracranial hematomas
- Patients who have expanding intracranial hematomas will be identified faster when monitored with hourly infrascanner assessments compared to standard care alone
- Clinical / research staff will be able to attain all data points and relay the assessments to the medical team.

Standard care plus infrascans
All participants will receive regular clinical neurological assessments as ordered by the clinical care team. In addition, a research team member will perform an infrascan. This process will be repeated hourly at the same timepoint as the clinical neurological assessments. If a patient's neurological status deteriorates at any time point, and the medical team orders an early (unplanned) CT scan, the neurological data collection will cease once the patient is sent to CT. Infrascan results will not be shared with the clinical care team, and will not guide the participants' care in any way. |
Device: Standard care plus infrascans
Hourly infrascans to detect expanding intracranial hematomas |
- Diagnostic performance of the infrascanner [ Time Frame: Month 24 ]Number of participants whose Infrascan results were accurate
- Time to detection of an enlarging hematoma [ Time Frame: 0-12 hours ]Difference in time to detection of hematoma enlargement between Infrascan and second CT across the cohort
