A Study of the Use of 3D Technology to Guide Head and Neck Surgery

Digitally Acquired 3D Framework With Superimposed Preoperative Imaging Data for Intraoperative Guidance

The purpose of this study is to test how the new 3D technology can be used to help improve the surgeon's ability to use information from standard imaging scans to guide head and neck surgery. Researchers will use the Scaniverse app during a standard ultrasound to create 3D images of participants' head and neck before their standard surgery. Researchers will see if the creation of a 3D framework profile with superimposed standard imaging scan information can be useful to the surgeon for guiding head and neck surgery

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
