Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults aged 18–90 who are scheduled for CT-guided needle placement for biopsy or ablation and can consent.

Probably not a fit

Patients who cannot tolerate radiation exposure or cannot fit within the CT gantry, or those unable to provide informed consent, may not benefit.

What this trial studies

This interventional study evaluates the feasibility and safety of the LUMENA guidance system when used during CT-guided needle placement for biopsy or ablation of various organs. Participants are adults aged 18 to 90 who require CT-guided procedures and can provide informed consent. The study focuses on real-time augmented reality guidance with in-situ feedback to support interventional radiologists during procedures. No efficacy endpoints are listed beyond feasibility and safety. The Mayo Clinic is the lead site for this trial, with no other collaborators.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If feasible and safe, the system could improve targeting accuracy and potentially reduce procedure time or complications.

How similar studies have gone: Previous work in image-guided interventions suggests augmented reality tools can assist procedures, but this exact system’s safety and feasibility in CT-guided biopsy/ablation is being tested.
