Recruiting studies
- NCT05376878RecruitingPhase 4
PET/MRI scan to guide treatment in HER2+ brain metastatic breast cancer
This trial tests a special PET/MRI imaging scan using a labeled drug to help doctors evaluate HER2+ breast cancer that has spread to the brain. It focuses on patients who plan to receive fam-trastuzumab deruxtecan, a targeted cancer medicine, and aims to see how well the scan can support treatment decisions.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07366619Recruiting
MADI ACL study: a new MRI method for ligament repair
This trial tests a new MRI technique called Magic Angle Direction Imaging (MADI) to see if it can give better images of the knee before ligament repair surgery. It may help doctors plan your surgery more accurately.
LondonAges 18–65 - NCT00437879Recruiting
Ultrasound and MRI scans to track breast cancer response early
This study uses ultrasound and/or MRI scans to see how breast cancer responds early while you start “neoadjuvant” treatment (chemotherapy, with or without radiation before surgery). It may help doctors spot response sooner and better understand which imaging changes match treatment benefit.
Toronto, OntarioAges Any age - NCT01866371Recruiting
High-detail eye scans for children and adults
This study tests a high-resolution imaging method that takes very detailed pictures of the retina (the light-sensing layer at the back of the eye). You might benefit by getting your eye health checked in a structured imaging study—if you’re able to comfortably complete the scan.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 7 years+ - NCT00004577Recruiting
New Brain Imaging Methods Research Study
This research study tests new ways to take detailed pictures of your brain using MRI (a safe imaging machine). You'll help researchers develop better imaging methods by lying still in the scanner for up to 2 hours.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT01266577Recruiting
MRI study measuring brain and muscle chemical levels
This study uses MRI techniques to measure natural chemical “metabolites” in the brain and muscle. You may be able to join if you’re generally healthy and can safely complete a long MRI scan.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–65 - NCT00397111Recruiting
MRI brain-scanning study of mood and anxiety in adults
This study uses brain MRI scans and mental tasks to better understand mood and anxiety problems. It may help researchers develop improved MRI methods for studying depression and healthy brain function.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–65 - NCT01269190Recruiting
Imaging mouth lesions during surgery to see them more clearly
This study uses a special dye and camera imaging while you have surgery or a biopsy to remove a mouth lesion. The goal is to better visualize the lesion during the operation, which may help doctors guide care more accurately.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT02390635RecruitingPhase 1
Testing PET/MRI scans to find leukemia outside the bone marrow
This Phase 1 study uses special whole-body imaging scans (PET with CT, plus MRI) to look for signs of acute myeloid leukemia outside the bone marrow. It may help doctors better see where leukemia is and guide future care.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT02526368RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Scan your prostate with special MRI using pyruvate to find high-grade cancer
This trial tests whether a specialized MRI scan using a pyruvate tracer can better detect high-grade (more aggressive) prostate cancer. It may help doctors find cancer more accurately and guide treatment decisions or targeted follow-up.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT02584244RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing an imaging scan to find gastrointestinal cancer
This study checks how well the LUM Imaging System can detect cancers of the esophagus, colon, or pancreas during the time you are preparing for surgery. It’s mainly meant to see if the scan works safely and clearly for doctors to find cancer areas.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT02662751Recruiting
Low-dose whole-body scan after stroke or TIA
This study looks at whether a low-dose whole-body imaging scan soon after a stroke or TIA (sometimes called a “mini-stroke”) can help doctors evaluate you. It also includes long follow-up to see how patients do over time.
MontpellierAges 18–89 - NCT02543983RecruitingPhase 2
Brain scan and ketamine study for suicidal thoughts
This trial studies how ketamine affects the brain in people dealing with suicidal thoughts or an active suicide crisis. It uses questionnaires, consent testing, and brain imaging to look for biological changes that may relate to symptom improvement.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–70 - NCT03094312Recruiting
Check how a seizure-brain procedure affects thinking after surgery
This study looks at whether a special brain-recording procedure for difficult-to-control seizures changes a person’s memory, thinking, or other brain skills afterward. It may help doctors understand risks and plan care for people undergoing the procedure.
BronAges 18–65 - NCT03321045RecruitingEarly Phase 1
PET scan to predict benefit from HER2-targeted breast cancer therapy
This early-phase study uses a special PET scan with a drug tagged for imaging to predict how well HER2-targeted treatments will work. It may help doctors choose the most effective therapy for HER2-positive breast cancer.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05136846RecruitingPhase 1
Papaverine with chemoradiation for stage II–III lung cancer
This early-phase trial tests whether adding papaverine to standard chemoradiation can improve treatment for stage II–III non-small cell lung cancer (and some limited stage IV cases). It aims to see if the combination is safe and tolerable while targeting the cancer with radiation and chemotherapy.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT02202681Enrolling by invitation
Swallowable capsule scans the duodenum with special imaging
This study tests whether a swallowable imaging capsule can safely look at the duodenum (the first part of the small intestine). It may help researchers better understand gut lining changes, such as those seen in celiac disease.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 16 years+ - NCT02091518Enrolling by invitation
MRI scanning methods study to improve image quality
This study tests how to take and analyze MRI scans in a safer, more useful way. If you can have an MRI comfortably and safely, your scans may help improve imaging methods for future patients.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07415759Recruiting
MRI study of electrical properties in healthy aging
This study uses MRI to measure electrical properties in the body and see how they change with age. It may help researchers better understand normal aging and develop future medical imaging techniques.
Vandœuvre-lès-Nancy, CHRU de NancyAges 6 years+ - NCT07425132Recruiting
Non-invasive heart mapping for congenital heart disease
This trial tests a new, non-invasive way to create detailed 3D maps of the heart's electrical activity in people with congenital heart disease. It aims to help guide procedures like heart catheterization or device implantation, potentially making them safer and more personalized.
Madrid, MadridAges 18–80 - NCT07446582Recruiting
AI camera test for wet AMD detection
This study tests a new AI-powered camera that takes special pictures of the back of the eye to find signs of wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD) more easily. It compares images from people with wet AMD and healthy volunteers to see if the AI can spot the disease early.
Woodbridge, New JerseyAges 40 years+ - NCT07463300Recruiting
AI Study for Lung Cancer Type and Genetics via PET/CT
This study uses an AI system that looks at your PET/CT scan images to figure out the exact type and genetic makeup of your non-small cell lung cancer. The goal is to improve how doctors classify and treat your cancer without needing extra invasive tests.

Predicting ADC treatment response with PET scans in advanced breast cancer
This study uses special PET scans to see if a type of targeted therapy called an anti-TROP2 ADC will work well for your advanced breast cancer. The therapy is already part of your standard care; the scans help doctors understand how your tumor responds.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for imaging?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 2,194 recruiting imaging 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 imaging 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 imaging 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.
