Intra-procedural Spectral CT for Image-guided Embolization and Ablation in Interventional Oncology


Sponsor

Palo Alto Veterans Institute for Research

Enrollment

30 participants

Start Date

Feb 1, 2025

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Summary

This is a pilot study to evaluate the feasibility, image quality, and procedural utility of a novel spectral CT technique using Canon Medical's 4D CT system during image-guided interventional oncology procedures


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is testing a new type of CT scanner called spectral CT, used during cancer procedures like embolization (blocking blood supply to tumors) and ablation (destroying tumors with heat or cold). Researchers want to see if spectral CT gives doctors better, real-time information during these procedures to improve their precision and results. **You may be eligible if...** - You are 18 or older - You have a tumor that needs to be treated with embolization or ablation - The area being treated has not been operated on or ablated before - Your tumor is at least 1.5 cm in size **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You are not medically eligible for the procedure - Your BMI is above 35 (due to imaging limitations) - You have had prior surgery on the area being treated Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

This summary was AI-generated to explain the trial in plain language. It is not medical advice. Always discuss eligibility with your doctor before enrolling in a clinical trial.
