3D technology to guide head and neck surgery
Part of Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This trial tests whether 3D imaging can help surgeons better plan and perform head and neck operations. If you're scheduled for head and neck surgery and standard scans, this study may improve your surgical precision.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are scheduled for head and neck surgery at Memorial Sloan Kettering.
- You will have a standard imaging scan (ultrasound, CT, MRI, or PET) before surgery.
- You have not had previous head and neck surgery or radiation.
- You are able to understand and sign the consent form.

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 a virtual reality (3D computer) model of surgery can help surgeons improve how head and neck cancer operations are planned and done. You may benefit from more personalized surgical planning, if you’re eligible for standard surgery.
This trial tests special MRI scans to find warning signs of cancer that has returned or spread in the head and neck area. It may help doctors see these changes more clearly, which could improve treatment planning.
This trial tests a 3D scanner that maps your spine during surgery to help the surgeon work more accurately. It is for people already planning spine surgery where the back bones are exposed.
This trial tests whether advanced imaging used during surgery can better guide where surgeons remove head-and-neck tumors. It also studies how this approach works alongside planned postoperative radiation therapy, which may be needed for more advanced tumors.
This early-stage study tests two different imaging (scanning) methods to better detect head and neck cancer. Your results from the scans may help doctors see where disease is before standard surgery to remove lymph nodes in the neck.
