Augmented reality guidance for MRI liver procedures
Part of Digestive system 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.

This trial uses a special MRI scan to create a 3D image of the liver before and after surgery. It helps doctors understand how much liver tissue remains after a major liver operation.
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 study tests whether augmented reality—a technology that overlays digital images onto the surgeon's view—can help surgeons safely remove small liver tumors. You would receive standard surgery, but the surgeon would use AR guidance to locate and remove your tumor more precisely.
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 trial studies using MRI scans to guide radiation therapy for locally advanced pancreas cancer or liver cancer. It may help make radiation planning more precise, either to control the cancer or to ease symptoms.
