Recruiting studies
- NCT03674645Recruiting
MRI test in healthy adults to improve scan sequences
This study tests and fine-tunes new MRI scan methods on a research MRI machine. It aims to improve how MRI images are captured, which could help future patients get clearer scans.

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+ - NCT03306082Enrolling by invitation
Test whether guided programming improves cochlear implant settings
This study checks whether an imaging-guided method can help tune your cochlear implant to improve hearing performance compared with the usual programming approach. It mainly looks at adults who already have a cochlear implant and have shown expected improvements with standard setup.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18–90 - NCT03458676Recruiting
MRI results to help guide brain tumor biopsy
This study checks whether advanced brain MRI images can help doctors choose the best spot to biopsy suspected or proven primary brain tumors. It may help make biopsies safer and more accurate before tissue diagnosis.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT03288207Recruiting
Mobile app for heart health in African American women
This study tests a mobile health app to help African American women with overweight or obesity in specific DC and Maryland neighborhoods improve their heart health. Participants will use the app and wear a wrist device to track activity, with the goal of reducing heart disease risk.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 21–75 - NCT03233646Recruiting
Retina scans in memory and nerve disorders
This study uses pictures of the back of your eye (retinal imaging) to look for differences in people with neurodegenerative diseases and compares them with people without these conditions. It may help researchers understand eye changes that could connect to brain or nerve health.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT03145077Recruiting
MRI test to diagnose jaw bone damage after head and neck radiation
This study uses special MRI scans with contrast to better detect osteoradionecrosis (jaw bone injury) after radiation for head and neck cancer. If you qualify, the scans may help your team diagnose problems earlier and choose the right next treatment.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - 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 - 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+ - 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+ - 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+ - 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+ - 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+ - 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 - 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 - NCT07877324Recruiting
Imaging heart artery inflammation with a new tracer
This study uses a special PET/CT scan to look for inflammation in the artery walls of the heart. It will help doctors understand how inflammation relates to coronary artery disease and recent heart attacks.
TurkuAges 50–80 - NCT07137416RecruitingPhase 1
Combination drug study for HER2-positive breast and other cancers
This study tests a new combination of two anti-cancer drugs (CX-5461 and T-DXd) for people with HER2-positive breast cancer or other solid tumors. It aims to see if the combination is safe and how well it works.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07878338RecruitingPhase 2

BeijingAges 18–90 - NCT07466498RecruitingPhase 2
Estrogen patch for men with metastatic prostate cancer
This study tests whether an estrogen patch can improve quality of life for men with prostate cancer that has spread. It may be an option if you haven't started certain hormone treatments yet.

HCMR Re-Imaging: MRI follow-up for HCM patients
This study uses MRI scans to re-examine people with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (a thickening of the heart muscle) who were part of the original HCMR study. It compares different types of HCM to learn more over time.

Retreating with 177Lu-DOTATATE radiation versus usual treatment
This trial tests whether repeating a targeted radioactive treatment (177Lu-DOTATATE) works better than standard options in people with metastatic gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. It may help by controlling tumor growth after the first round of this therapy stops working.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT07288034RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy biomarkers for advanced lung cancer
This study looks at blood and tissue biomarkers to predict how well immunotherapy (with or without chemotherapy) works for advanced non-small cell lung cancer. It also helps decide the best second treatment if the first one stops working.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for imaging?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 2,164 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.
