Robot vs manual arm artery brain scan trial
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests if a robot can help perform a brain artery scan through the wrist as safely and effectively as the standard manual method. It might be an option if you need a detailed look at blood vessels in your brain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You have a suspected brain blood vessel problem (like narrowing, aneurysm, or malformation) that needs more checking.
- A blood supply test in your hand (Allen's test) must be normal.
- The artery in your wrist must be at least 2 mm wide, or a doctor decides it is safe for this approach.

This trial compares two ways doctors reach the blood vessels to do diagnostic brain angiography: through the wrist artery (radial) or the groin artery (femoral). It may help show which access route is safer or easier for people needing this brain blood vessel imaging.
This trial uses a robot to assist with brain blood vessel treatments, like checking for blockages, treating tumors, or removing clots. It may help make these procedures more precise and safer.
This study tests whether an artificial intelligence (AI) system can produce clear 3D brain images using much less radiation than usual. If you need a special X-ray guided procedure for your brain blood vessels, this approach may lower your radiation exposure.
This study compares two different ways doctors can perform brain vessel imaging (cerebral angiography): through the wrist (transradial) versus through the groin (transfemoral). Researchers want to see which approach is safer and more effective for patients who need this imaging.
This trial compares two ways to perform a brain angiogram: one through the wrist (radial artery) and the other through the groin (femoral artery). It wants to see which is safer and works better.
This trial uses your medical images (like MRI or angiography) to create a personalized map of your brain's blood vessels. The goal is to help doctors better plan minimally invasive treatments for aneurysms or arteriovenous malformations.
