First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests new MRI guidance software called Philips Interventional iSuite. Doctors will use it to guide needles for biopsies and tumor ablations in 12 patients already scheduled for these procedures. The goal is to see if the software helps place needles faster and more accurately compared to current CT-guided methods.
