New 3D tech aims to sharpen Surgeon's view during head and neck operations
NCT ID NCT06676592
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new 3D technology that combines standard scans (like CT or MRI) with real-time images to help surgeons guide head and neck surgery more precisely. About 27 adults scheduled for head and neck surgery will have a 3D scan created using a smartphone app during a standard ultrasound. The goal is to see if this 3D framework can successfully overlay existing scan information to improve surgical guidance.

Inclusion Criteria: * Aged ≥18 years * Scheduled to undergo head and neck surgery in the Surgery Head and Neck Service at MSK o Note: If, for some reason, the participant is not scheduled to have standard preoperative imaging procedures, then the participant will have an ultrasound of the head and neck for research purposes. * Scheduled to undergo standard of care preoperative imaging (ie, ultrasound (US), computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or positron emission tomography (PET)) in the Radiology Service at MSK * Ability to understand and sign (or their legally acceptable representative (LAR) must sign) the written informed consent Exclusion Criteria: * Previous head and neck surgery or head and neck radiation * Any condition which, in the judgement of the clinical investigator or his designee, might increase the risk to the subject or decrease the chance of obtaining satisfactory data to achieve the objectives of the study
