ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is exploring the use of augmented reality (AR) technology to help doctors perform certain procedures guided by MRI scans. The goal is to see if using AR can make these needle procedures—like injections, biopsies, or fluid removal—safer and easier for patients. The trial is currently looking for volunteers, particularly young patients aged 3 to 21, who have been referred for these types of image-guided procedures.

To participate, individuals will need to be able to give consent (or have a parent do so if they are younger), and they should not weigh more than 300 pounds or have any conditions that prevent them from undergoing an MRI. Participants can expect to receive detailed information about the study and will be closely monitored during the procedures to ensure their safety. This study is an exciting opportunity to help advance medical technology and improve the experience for patients undergoing these interventions.
