Adaptive eye imaging to take very detailed retinal pictures
This study uses special “adaptive optics” equipment to capture very detailed images of the retina (the nerve layer at the back of the eye). It may help improve eye tests for people with eye disease and also includes some healthy volunteers.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 12–120 - NCT02108080Recruiting
Study of brain imaging in people with alcohol use disorder
This study collects natural history information and brain imaging (MRI) using an imaging instrument to compare people with alcohol use disorder and people without. It may help researchers understand how brain imaging works in real-world participants and how it relates to alcohol-related health.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT02279329Recruiting
Tracking lung changes with special gas MRI scans
This study repeatedly takes special MRI pictures of the lungs using helium-3 and xenon-129 gas to track how lung function changes over time. It may help researchers better understand lung disease in people who have COPD or bronchiectasis, or a long smoking history.
London, OntarioAges 50–85 - NCT02107989Recruiting
MRI and brain scans before epilepsy surgery
This study collects noninvasive brain scan data (mainly MRI, sometimes MEG) from people being evaluated for focal epilepsy surgery, and from healthy volunteers. It aims to build reference “normal” brain images and improve how doctors plan and interpret epilepsy surgery evaluations.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 8–120 - NCT02567136Recruiting
Imaging study for people with ALS using MRI
This trial uses MRI scans to look for “imaging biomarkers” (scan patterns that may help track ALS). It may help researchers better understand disease changes over time and how ALS progresses.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 21–75 - NCT02548546Recruiting
Imaging study to measure the aorta using new techniques
This study uses special imaging to better measure how the aorta wall behaves in people with an enlarged aorta (an aneurysm) and in some people without an aneurysm. Results may help doctors understand aneurysm risk and plan care more precisely.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT02740868RecruitingPhase 2
Breathing MRI using xenon gas to study lungs
This trial uses a special breathing MRI (you breathe a gas mixture) to measure how well your lungs work. It studies healthy kids and people with lung conditions like cystic fibrosis or asthma, and it may help researchers better understand lung function and flare-ups.
Toronto, OntarioAges 8 years+ - NCT02855554Recruiting
MRI heart scan study for specific heart conditions
This study uses a special MRI approach to measure details of your heart muscle in people with certain heart problems. It may help researchers better understand how different conditions affect the heart and how those changes can be measured.
