Safety of MRI Compatible Hardware for MRI-based Image Guidance During Spine Surgery

Early Phase 1
Terminated
Conditions
Thoracic Spine Neoplasm
Interventions
Device: Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Procedure: Therapeutic Conventional Surgery
Registration Number
NCT04563806
Lead Sponsor
M.D. Anderson Cancer Center
Brief Summary

This trial investigates the safety and accuracy of using 2 pieces of hardware (a clamp and a needle) that are able to be used with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) during spinal surgery. During a standard spinal surgery, a computed tomography (CT) scan is used to help plan the placement of surgical instruments used during the procedure or for needle biopsies. Then, the patient is moved to the MRI. For this study, the patient is able to stay in place as the hardware used in this study is able to work with the MRI. Using MRI compatible hardware may allow for an extra degree of safety and facilitate better surgical workflow.

Detailed Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

I. To document the safety of utilizing MRI compatible hardware for intraoperative MRI-based image guidance to perform percutaneous spinal procedures.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVE:

I. To determine the accuracy of the MRI-based image guidance.

OUTLINE:

Patients undergo standard of care spine surgery with MRI-based image guidance.
