Recruiting studies
- NCT01621594Recruiting
Testing new radiation methods for heart CT images
This trial studies newer ways to take heart and blood vessel CT scans while using radiation more carefully. It may help improve image quality for people needing coronary CT angiography.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–100 - NCT02019706RecruitingPhase 2
PET/CT scans to find the cause of ectopic Cushing syndrome
This trial tests several special imaging scans to help doctors locate the source of hormone overproduction in ectopic Cushing syndrome. It may help confirm where the problem is so treatment can be better targeted.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–80 - NCT01725763Enrolling by invitation
MRI without contrast to help diagnose pulmonary hypertension
This study uses an MRI scan that does not use contrast dye to better diagnose and sort out pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs). It may help doctors classify your condition more accurately, especially around the time you’re scheduled for a right-heart catheterization.
Graz, StyriaAges 18 years+ - NCT01771718Recruiting
Non-invasive skin imaging study using a special microscope
This is a pilot research study that uses a non-invasive skin imaging technique to look at skin details using multiphoton microscopy. It may help researchers improve how skin is studied, without needing surgery or injections in most cases.
Irvine, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT02098265Recruiting
Brain-signal device for stroke arm rehabilitation
This study tests a device that uses brain activity signals to trigger stroke arm therapy. It may help improve how well your upper arm and hand function by timing the training to your brain’s patterns.
Madison, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT01730781Recruiting
PET scan study to image cannabinoid receptors in the brain
This study uses a special brain scan (PET) to measure cannabinoid receptors—areas in the brain that interact with cannabis-like chemicals. It may help researchers better understand how these receptors relate to conditions such as schizophrenia, PTSD, opioid use disorder, or early psychosis risk.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18–55 - NCT02095808Recruiting
Testing blood and body markers in lung and chest cancers
This study looks at “biomarkers,” which are measurable signs in the body (often in blood or samples), in people with lung or other chest cancers. It may help researchers better understand these cancers and improve how they’re diagnosed or tracked.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT02118922Recruiting
Testing a light-scanning eye exam to diagnose corneal thinning
This study tests whether a special “Brillouin” microscope scan can spot corneal ectasia and related cornea conditions. It may help doctors diagnose problems earlier and better sort out who needs closer eye care.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 20–75 - NCT01453127Enrolling by invitationPhase 4
DaTscan scan for aging and movement brain conditions
This trial uses a special brain scan called DaTscan to study how certain brain conditions change with aging and over time. It may help researchers better understand movement and other neurodegenerative conditions and who may benefit from future treatments.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 40–90 - NCT01957267Recruiting
Eye imaging study for glaucoma detection
This study uses advanced eye scans to compare the eyes of people with glaucoma against those with healthy eyes. It aims to find better ways to detect and monitor glaucoma, which could help preserve vision.
Portland, OregonAges 40–85 - NCT01973881Recruiting
MRI testing in adults with myelofibrosis
This study uses special MRI scans to learn more about myelofibrosis and how it behaves in the body. It may help researchers build better ways to measure the disease using imaging, without needing anesthesia.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18–99 - NCT02122562RecruitingPhase 2
Ketamine treatment for depression that hasn’t responded to care
This Phase 2 study tests ketamine for people with major depression that hasn’t improved after at least one antidepressant. It aims to see whether ketamine can reduce depression symptoms during a current depressive episode.
Iowa City, IowaAges 18–55 - NCT00588185Recruiting
Pet scans for advanced prostate or salivary gland cancer
This study uses special PET scans to get a detailed picture of prostate or salivary gland cancer that is getting worse. The scans may help doctors see the cancer more clearly and plan better treatment.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges Any age - NCT00833599Enrolling by invitation
Scan lymph drainage and collect samples for related conditions
This study uses a special light scan after a dye is given to look at how your lymph system drains. It may also include genetic testing for people with a family history of lymph-related disorders to better understand causes.
Houston, TexasAges 3 months+ - NCT00950430Enrolling by invitationPhase 4
Brain scan study for amyloid plaques in adults
This study uses brain imaging to look for amyloid plaques (abnormal protein deposits) as people age. It may help researchers better understand how these changes develop over time.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 30–100 - NCT00870129Recruiting
MRI mapping to plan radiation for certain brain tumors
This study uses MRI scans to find higher-risk areas in certain brain and other solid tumors and help plan radiation treatment. It also looks for changes in tumor “metabolites” (chemicals in the tumor) that may relate to how the tumor behaves.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT00254605Recruiting
Retinal photo imaging for inherited eye conditions
This study uses special pictures of the back of your eye (retinal imaging) in people with inherited retinal degeneration. It may help researchers learn how these conditions look and change over time, and it can be a way for you to receive detailed eye imaging.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 13 years+ - NCT01035112Recruiting
MRI check for suspicious breast changes
This study uses a breast MRI scan to look at suspicious areas in the breast. It may help doctors better tell which breast changes need closer follow-up like a biopsy.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 21 years+ - NCT01060371Recruiting
Study of genetic causes of spinocerebellar ataxia
This study follows people with certain types of spinocerebellar ataxia (a group of conditions that cause progressive movement problems) to understand how the disease changes over time and how genes might influence it. It may help researchers learn more about these conditions and support future treatments.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 6 years+ - NCT01130545Recruiting
MRI testing of different scan methods in older adults
This study tests different MRI imaging techniques to improve how scans look and measure targets. You may be able to join with or without a contrast dye, and you’ll need to travel to the NIH for follow-up visits.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–100 - NCT00001248Recruiting
MRI Brain Imaging Study for Multiple Sclerosis
This research study uses MRI (magnetic resonance imaging)—a safe, non-invasive scanner—to take detailed pictures of your brain and understand how multiple sclerosis (MS) affects it over time. You may qualify whether you have MS or are a healthy volunteer for comparison.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT00051857Recruiting
MRI Study of Muscle and Bone Function
This research study uses MRI scans (a safe imaging tool) to understand how bones, muscles, and joints work. Researchers are looking for both people with muscle or bone injuries and healthy volunteers to compare how the body moves and functions.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 5–95 - NCT01036581Recruiting
Brain MRI study to improve brain imaging for drug research
This study uses advanced MRI brain scans to better show how the brain responds to medicines (drug-related effects). You may also do extra safety screening and non-invasive brain stimulation for some parts of the research.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for image?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 2,159 recruiting image studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a image trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a image trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
