Smart imaging aids for surgeons put to the test

NCT ID NCT05268432

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study is developing and testing computer-assisted guidance tools that work with real-time imaging (like ultrasound or CT) during abdominal surgery. About 40 adults having laparoscopic, robotic, or open surgery will take part. The main goal is to see if the technology works without major errors, and to gather early data on how it might affect surgical outcomes.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

surgical assistance functions with intraoperative imaging (ultrasound, CT, MRI)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could lead to better surgical guidance tools that help surgeons perform abdominal surgeries more accurately and safely.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage study focused on technical feasibility, not on proving clinical benefit. The assistance functions may not work as intended or may not improve outcomes.
