Augmented reality needle guidance for soft tissue biopsy
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You need a biopsy of a soft-tissue tumor (like in the breast, liver, or muscle) as part of your regular care.
- Your doctor has already said you can have a biopsy using ultrasound.
- Your tumor is at least 1 cm across and not deeper than 8 cm from the skin.
- Your BMI is 40 or less.

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 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.
This trial tests a robot-assisted method for taking prostate biopsies using a new type of ultrasound probe. It may help men with certain high-risk features get a more precise diagnosis.
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 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 trial tests whether using augmented reality (AR) – a technology that overlays digital images onto the real world – during liver tumor surgery is safe and practical. It aims to help surgeons remove tumors more precisely, which could lead to better outcomes for you.
