Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Devices - Artificial intelligence augmented ultrasound

Other: All active participants - All participants will undergo an AI-augmented ultrasound and there will be no active comparator


Treatment: Devices: Artificial intelligence augmented ultrasound
The hip ultrasound is performed using a handheld device (Exo Iris) that uses a pocket-sized ultrasound probe and is run through an application on an IoS (Apple mobile) operation system. . A real-time algorithm detects and records the anatomical landmarks. When there are enough images for analysis the operator is notified that the scan is complete. From here, the images are then classified as: the hips as "healthy", "follow-up recommended," or "suboptimal (repeat scan)".

Summary
Brief summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if an ultrasound scan using artificial intelligence can accurately screen for hip dysplasia. Researchers will compare the artificial intelligence ultrasound results to the standard ultrasound measures to see if the artificial intelligence ultrasound scan can accurately screen for hip dysplasia.

It will also seek to understand how parents feel about their children undergoing this scan.

Participants will:

* Have an additional ultrasound performed on their child at their scheduled outpatient's appointment for hip dysplasia
* Complete a short questionnaire about the experience of having the measurement performed on their child
