What this Trial Is About
Researchers are evaluating how new 3D technology can help surgeons use information from standard imaging scans to guide head and neck surgery. The study aims to test if creating a 3D framework profile with superimposed imaging data improves surgical guidance during these procedures. This research involves participants scheduled for head and neck surgery. Participants will have standard preoperative imaging such as ultrasound, CT, MRI, or PET as part of their usual care. Using the Scaniverse app, 3D images of surface landmarks will be created from ultrasound scans before surgery. If a participant is not scheduled for standard imaging, an ultrasound will be done for research purposes. This 3D framework will be compared to standard imaging data to see how well it aids surgical guidance. During the study, researchers will collect imaging data and create the 3D framework before surgery. They will measure the proportion of standard imaging studies that can be successfully combined into the 3D framework within one year. Participants will be monitored as they proceed through their planned surgery, and data will be gathered to evaluate the usefulness of this imaging approach for guiding surgery.

Your Study Journey
Duration - 2 to 4 weeks
Participants are screened for eligibility to participate in the trial.
1 visit (in-person)
Duration - Up to 1 week before surgery
Participants undergo preoperative imaging and 3D imaging to create a digital framework guiding head and neck surgery. These imaging procedures are part of routine care and study procedures.
1 to 2 visits depending on imaging schedule
Duration - Surgery day and immediate recovery period
Participants undergo their scheduled head and neck surgery with guidance from the 3D imaging framework.
1 surgical procedure and immediate post-operative care
Duration - Up to 1 year
Participants are monitored for outcomes related to the integration of imaging data into the 3D framework over a 1-year period.
Follow-up visits as per routine clinical care
