About this trial
The purpose of this research is to evaluate the safety and feasibility of using a needle guidance system (LUMENA) create by CLEAR GUIDE MEDICAL for needle placement for biopsy or liver tumor ablation procedures.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Provision of signed and dated informed consent form
Stated willingness to comply with all study procedures and availability for the duration of the study
Male or female, ages 18-90 years
Patient referred to Interventional Radiology for image-guided liver needle placement for ablation/biopsy.
Disqualifiers
Patients who are unable to give informed consent themselves or through their parents.
Patients that do not fit into MR scanner (70 cm bore) with room for needle placement.
Contraindications to MRI such as MR-unsafe implants.
Trial design
Single group
Treatments tested in this trial
MRI guided procedure software evaluation
DeviceFor the use of the MRI-needle guidance system (LUMENA) developed by CLEAR GUIDE MEDICAL during clinical MRI-guided needle placement procedures for patients undergoing a liver biopsy/procedure.
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Feasibility of intervention
Use of the guidance system will be considered feasible if the system is used successfully in more than 80% of procedures
Safety of intervention (adverse events)
Participants will be monitored for adverse events during the procedure and during recovery time following the procedure. The intervention will be considered safe if the needle is successfully placed in the target with no serious adverse events and total adverse events \<10%.
Secondary outcomes
Number of needle passes
Recorded during the procedure by a member of the technical staff who will be there monitoring use of the guidance system.
Procedure time
Procedure time will be recorded. Start time will be when initial imaging is obtained (planning image). The end time will be when the final imaging is taken (needle placement completed).
Accuracy of needle placement
Assessed using MRI images showing needle placement, planned versus actual.
