Augmented reality for MRI-guided procedures in children
Part of Infections, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests if augmented reality (a type of computer overlay) can help doctors perform MRI-guided needle procedures more accurately in children and young adults. It may lead to safer and more precise treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 3 and 21 years old.
- You have a scheduled needle injection, aspiration (removing fluid with a needle), or biopsy (taking a small tissue sample) guided by MRI.
- You are not claustrophobic or unable to have an MRI due to anxiety.
- You don't have any metal implants or devices that aren't safe for MRI.
- You or your parent can give permission (informed consent) to join the study.

This study tests if using virtual reality (VR) during interventional radiology procedures can help children feel more comfortable and less anxious. It is looking for children ages 8 and older who are in the normal range of development.
This study tests a virtual reality headset (HypnoVR) that uses hypnosis and calming visuals to help reduce anxiety and pain during interventional radiology procedures done without sedation. It may help you feel more relaxed and comfortable during your procedure.
This trial tests a new augmented reality system that helps guide the needle during a soft-tissue biopsy. It may make the procedure more accurate and easier for your doctor.
This study tests a new augmented reality system to help doctors place needles in the liver during MRI scans for biopsies or ablation (heat to destroy tumors). The goal is to see if it improves accuracy and speed.
This study tests whether using augmented reality (a computer-generated overlay) can help doctors guide needles more accurately during CT-guided biopsies or ablations. This might make the procedure faster and more precise, potentially reducing the need for repeat scans.
This study tests whether using augmented reality or virtual reality (AR/VR) can help doctors perform ultrasound-guided procedures more accurately. If you are an adult having an ultrasound-guided procedure and are in generally good health, you may be able to join.
