Augmented reality guidance for MRI liver procedures
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 90 years old.
- You are scheduled for a liver needle procedure (biopsy or ablation) guided by MRI.
- You can provide your own consent to participate.
- You must be able to fit inside an MRI scanner (a 70 cm opening) with enough room for the needle procedure.
- You should have no metal implants or devices that are not safe for MRI.
Quick eligibility check

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 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.
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 uses MRI imaging and computer modeling to better plan liver surgery and related liver treatments. It may help doctors predict circulation (blood flow) changes during surgery and choose safer surgical timing or approaches.
This study uses ultrasound and MRI images to help plan a more precise heat treatment (ablation) for liver cancer. The aim is to target the tumor better while protecting healthy liver tissue.
