Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: LUMENA Augmented Reality Guidance
Participants will undergo clinically indicated CT-guided needle placement for ablation or biopsy with use of the LUMENA augmented reality guidance system.
LUMENA is an augmented reality needle guidance system that provides real-time visual guidance during CT-guided needle placement procedures.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Feasibility of completing the CT-guided needle placement procedure using the LUMENA guidance system
Time Frame: 2 years
Feasibility will be assessed as the proportion of procedures successfully completed using the LUMENA guidance system without withdrawal of the system before completion. The procedure will be considered feasible if more than 80% of procedures are completed using the system.
2 years
Safety of CT-guided needle placement using the LUMENA guidance system as assessed by adverse events
Time Frame: 2 years
Safety will be assessed by the occurrence of serious adverse events and total adverse events associated with the procedure. The safety endpoint is safe needle placement in the target without any serious adverse events and total adverse events less than 10%.
2 years

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Accuracy of needle placement
Time Frame: 1 day
Needle placement accuracy will be assessed by comparing the planned target location on the planning CT image set with the actual needle tip location on the confirmatory CT image set. Accuracy will be calculated as the three-dimensional distance between the planned target and actual needle tip location, reported in millimeters.
1 day
Procedure time
Time Frame: 1 day
Procedure time will be measured from acquisition of the initial imaging to acquisition of the final imaging and reported in minutes.
1 day
Number of intermediary CT/fluoroscopy images
Time Frame: 1 day
The number of intermediary CT/fluoroscopy images obtained during the procedure will be recorded as an indirect measure of radiation exposure.
1 day
Operator usability assessment of the LUMENA guidance system
Time Frame: 1 day
At the end of each procedure, the operator will complete a usability form that captures ease of use using a Likert scale and subjective clinical impressions of system use and utility.
