Check if an AR brain navigation system is accurate
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether an “AR” (augmented reality) navigation system can help guide doctors during brain tumor or blood-vessel (cerebrovascular) surgery. If the system is accurate, it may help surgeons plan and position tools more safely.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You had a brain MRI or CT scan because of a brain tumor or cerebrovascular disease.
- You are planning brain surgery for a tumor or cerebrovascular problem using a navigation system.
- Your surgeon believes navigation is needed for your case (not optional).
- You (or your guardian, if applicable) agree to take part in the study.

This trial uses a brain connectivity map to help surgeons remove brain tumors while protecting areas that control language, movement, and thinking. It may be an option for people whose tumors are near important brain networks.
This trial tests an augmented reality (AR) tool to help surgeons locate breast cancer tumors during breast-conserving surgery. You may join if you have a single, small invasive breast tumor and have not had chemotherapy before surgery.
This study tests whether a special brain-navigation method can better measure how the brain moves during surgery for certain brain conditions. If it works, it may help surgeons avoid mistakes caused by brain shifting while you are under anesthesia.
This study tests a new way to guide brain surgery using a head-mounted mixed reality system, which helps the surgeon see the tumor and surrounding structures. It is for adults with certain brain tumors that have not been treated before.
This study tests whether using an augmented reality (AR) navigation system can help surgeons perform skull base surgery through the nose more accurately. If you are already planning this type of surgery and have had the required scans, you may be eligible.
This trial explores whether using a 3D mixed-reality viewer (like special goggles) to plan brain tumor surgery beforehand can help surgeons do a better job. If you are an adult with a brain tumor needing planned surgery and have had a recent MRI or CT scan, you may be able to join.
