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 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 trial compares two ways doctors can look at the blood vessels in your brain: through a small tube in your arm or through a small tube in your groin. Both are common, and the study aims to see which is safer and works better.
This trial tests a new AI method to create clearer 3D brain images using lower radiation doses during procedures like angiography. It aims to reduce radiation exposure while keeping image quality high for safer diagnosis and treatment.
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.
This trial compares two methods of placing a small tube in an artery in the wrist to monitor blood pressure continuously during robotic urologic surgery. The goal is to see which method gives more stable and accurate readings when your arms are tucked at your sides.
This trial tests a minimally invasive robot-assisted surgery to remove bleeding inside the brain's fluid-filled spaces, which can happen after a stroke or injury. It aims to improve recovery by clearing the blood and reducing pressure on the brain.
