A Study of the Use of 3D Technology to Guide Head and Neck Surgery

Digitally Acquired 3D Framework With Superimposed Preoperative Imaging Data for Intraoperative Guidance

Sponsor

Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center

Enrollment

27 participants

Start Date

Nov 1, 2024

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Surgery Head and Neck Disorder

Summary

The purpose of this study is to test how the new 3D technology can be used to help improve the surgeon's ability to use information from standard imaging scans to guide head and neck surgery. Researchers will use the Scaniverse app during a standard ultrasound to create 3D images of participants' head and neck before their standard surgery. Researchers will see if the creation of a 3D framework profile with superimposed standard imaging scan information can be useful to the surgeon for guiding head and neck surgery

Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study looks at whether 3D printed models of a patient's own anatomy can help surgeons plan and perform head and neck cancer surgeries more accurately. Surgeons would use patient-specific 3D guides created from pre-operative imaging to improve precision during the operation. **You may be eligible if...** - You are 18 years or older - You are scheduled for a head and neck surgery at the participating cancer center - You are able to have standard pre-operative imaging (or an ultrasound if standard imaging isn't possible) **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You are under 18 years old - You are not scheduled for head and neck surgery at the study site - You are unable to complete pre-surgical imaging Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TESTPreoperative imaging

Preoperative imaging will be performed as part of the standard of care. Imaging data from US, CT, MRI, and/or PET performed for routine care will be used for this study.

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST3D framework

3D images of surface landmarks will be acquired by use of US and the Scaniverse app before surgery, in conjunction with the participant's standard-of-care US or US-guided biopsy procedure
