ClinConnect Summary

This study is a early-stage test of a new MRI-guided tool called the Philips Interventional iSuite. Researchers want to see if this software can help doctors place biopsy or ablation needles more quickly and accurately inside the body during MRI procedures. It’s a single-group feasibility study, meaning there’s no separate comparison group, and the main goal is to learn how well the software works in real procedures and to get doctor feedback.

Who can participate and what to expect: Adults aged 18 to 90 who are already scheduled for a percutaneous MRI-guided procedure (such as a biopsy or ablation) and who are not pregnant may be invited to join. The study is conducted at Mayo Clinic in Rochester and uses standard MRI guidance plus the iSuite software during the procedure. Participants will be followed for up to about three years, with the main focus on how efficiently the needle is placed and how similar the process is to current CT-guided methods. Secondary goals look at how easy the software is to use. The iSuite software is investigational and not yet FDA-cleared, and enrollment is estimated to be about 12 participants.
