About this trial
The goal of this investigational device exemption is to evaluate the Epione assistance for introducer placement during percutaneous procedures in musculo-skeletic (MSK) structures of the pelvis and the spine in adults.
The main question is the determination of the rate of feasible procedures assisted by the Epione device
Participants will undergo their procedure(s) as planned by their physician. If they accept to participate to the study, the differences with standard of care will be:
* The use of the Epione device to place the introducer(s), instead of freehand placement if they do not participate * Additional CT or CBCT scans during the procedure.
