This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
Researchers at Memorial Sloan Kettering are testing a new 3D imaging technology to help surgeons plan and perform head and neck surgery more precisely. The study uses a special app called Scaniverse during an ultrasound to create detailed 3D images of your head and neck area before your surgery. The goal is to see whether combining these 3D images with your regular imaging scans (like CT or MRI scans) can help your surgeon better understand your anatomy during your operation.
Surgeons currently rely on 2D imaging scans to plan complex head and neck surgeries. This new 3D technology could give them a clearer, more detailed view of your anatomy during surgery, potentially leading to safer and more precise surgical outcomes.

If you join this study, researchers will use the Scaniverse app during a standard ultrasound of your head and neck to create 3D images before your scheduled surgery. This happens alongside your regular preoperative imaging scans — no extra procedures beyond what you would normally have. The researchers will then use these 3D images along with your standard imaging scans to create a detailed guide to help your surgeon during your operation. Your actual surgery and overall treatment plan will not change.
