Testing personalized walking models for pelvic sarcoma surgery rehab
This study uses personalized computer models and movement measurements (often with MRI) to improve how surgery and physical rehab plans are tailored after pelvic sarcoma surgery. It aims to better understand walking and movement patterns so rehabilitation can be more effective.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04767659Recruiting
Optical imaging to predict full response to breast cancer chemo
This study uses a light-based scanner (optical imaging) during neoadjuvant chemotherapy to see how your breast cancer responds and to predict whether treatment will fully clear the tumor. If you qualify, it may help researchers better match imaging patterns to treatment success.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT05436093Recruiting
PET scan using a tumor-targeting probe in solid tumors
This trial studies whether a special PET scan probe that targets CLDN18.2 can help show solid tumors in the body. If you have a solid tumor that can be measured on scan, you may be invited to have imaging with the probe.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT04665739RecruitingPhase 2
Lutetium Lu-177 for lung carcinoid tumors with somatostatin receptors
This trial tests lutetium Lu 177 dotatate, a targeted radiation treatment, for advanced lung neuroendocrine (carcinoid) tumors that have a specific marker called somatostatin receptors. It may help shrink tumors by delivering radiation directly to cancer cells that “light up” on a special scan.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT04662658RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing a special MRI gas scan of healthy lungs
This study tests a special MRI scan that uses a “hyperpolarized” gas to look at how well the lungs are working. It’s likely looking for safe imaging results and clear lung measurements in people without lung disease.
Charlottesville, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT04705467Recruiting
3D scanning of needles during gynecologic radiation treatment
This study uses 3D imaging to help guide needle-based radiation treatment for certain gynecologic cancers. If you are already scheduled to receive this type of brachytherapy, the trial may help make the treatment planning more accurate.
London, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT04908709Recruiting
MRI-guided proton therapy for high-grade brain tumors in children
This study looks at how metabolism in a child’s brain tumor changes during proton therapy, using special MRI scans. It may help doctors better understand treatment response and tailor care for pediatric high-grade gliomas.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges Up to 21 years - NCT04832698Recruiting
Survey of radiology residents after endovascular simulator training
This study is a survey that asks current interventional and diagnostic radiology residents about their experience after training with an endovascular simulator. Your answers may help improve the simulator training program for future residents.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04668261Recruiting
Brain blood flow changes in neurosurgery patients over time
This study uses repeated MRI scans to measure how blood flow to the brain changes over time in people with certain neurosurgical conditions. It aims to better understand brain circulation changes, which may help doctors plan care more effectively.
ZurichAges 18 years+ - NCT04648124Recruiting
MRI brain scan study in hereditary retinal vision loss
This study uses functional MRI (a type of brain scan) to understand how the brain processes vision in people with inherited retinal disorders. You might be included if you are an adult with hereditary retinal degeneration and are planning certain vision-related treatments soon.
Paris, PARISAges 18 years+ - NCT04824014RecruitingPhase 2
PET imaging for ER+ advanced breast cancer
This trial uses a special PET scan called 4FMFES-PET to take detailed pictures of ER-positive breast cancer that has spread. It helps doctors see where the cancer is and how active it is, which may guide treatment decisions.
Sherbrooke, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT05019716RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Adding ZEN003694 to chemo for NUT cancer
This early-phase study tests whether adding ZEN003694 to standard chemotherapy (cisplatin/etoposide or carboplatin/paclitaxel) is safe and can help control NUT carcinoma. It enrolls people ages 12–17 and adults, including some patients whose cancer has spread or can’t be safely removed.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 12 years+ - NCT04313140Recruiting
MRI virtual biopsy to predict glioma grade
This study uses special MRI images to estimate the “grade” of a suspected brain tumor (glioma) without taking a tissue sample first. If it works well, it may help doctors better plan care based on imaging.
PoitiersAges 18 years+ - NCT06575556Recruiting
Using MRI instead of CT for follow-up after Ross procedure
This study compares MRI scans to CT scans for following up patients who had the Ross procedure (a type of heart valve surgery) using the 'loose jacket' technique. The goal is to see if MRI can successfully replace CT, avoiding the radiation and dye used in CT scans.
AswānAges Any age - NCT03384238RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Panitumumab dye during pancreatic surgery
This trial tests whether a targeted antibody with a fluorescent dye can help surgeons see and remove pancreatic cancer during planned surgery. It’s an early-phase study, so the main goal is to see if the approach is safe and useful around the time of the operation.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 19 years+ - NCT02840019Recruiting
MRI scans during pregnancy to study baby and placenta development
This study uses advanced MRI pictures of the fetus (the baby) and placenta to better understand normal development and possible problems. You may qualify if you’re between 18 and 40 weeks pregnant and can have the MRI safely.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–45 - NCT04781894Recruiting
Ultrasound scan to check pleural lung lining changes
This study tests a special ultrasound method to measure stiffness in the lung lining (pleura) or fluid-related lesions. It may help doctors better tell what pleural problems look like, using a non-invasive scan.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for imaging?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 2,190 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.
