PET scan study tracking cholesterol movement in your body
This early study uses a special PET scan dye to see how cholesterol moves through the body. It is testing how the imaging works in healthy people and in people with adrenal gland hormone secretion problems, to better understand cholesterol handling.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT04559217RecruitingPhase 2
68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT for neuroblastoma imaging
This study tests how well a new PET/CT scan using 68Ga-DOTATATE can find neuroblastoma. It’s for children and young adults who are being planned for a different scan (123I-MIBG) to compare imaging results.
Montreal, QuebecAges Up to 21 years - NCT04573660Recruiting
Registry for people using Abbott vascular devices
This is a patient registry that collects health information from adults who get Abbott vascular devices during a planned procedure. It helps Abbott and doctors understand how these devices perform in everyday care.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT04588168Recruiting
MRI helps guide bladder cancer treatment planning
This trial uses special MRI scans to help doctors choose precise treatment for bladder cancer before and/or around surgery. It may help tailor therapy more accurately while you receive standard bladder cancer care.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT04589624RecruitingPhase 1
MRI scan to monitor response in head and neck cancers
This Phase 1 study tests an investigational MRI scan (hpMRI) to help doctors see how thyroid cancer and other head-and-neck cancers respond to treatment like radiation or other medicines. If you’re eligible, the scan may help track treatment effects more closely, though it’s still being studied for this purpose.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04602338Recruiting
Imaging tests to better diagnose heart failure with preserved function
This trial uses several types of heart imaging to diagnose heart failure where squeezing function is still fairly normal. It may help doctors sort out what’s causing your symptoms and guide better care by comparing imaging findings across many patients.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT04603404Recruiting
Imaging tests to find and predict HFpEF risk
This study uses different heart imaging tests to help screen for HFpEF (heart failure with preserved pumping strength), make the diagnosis, and estimate your future risk. You may benefit by getting a clearer diagnosis and a better risk picture based on the scans.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT04612075Recruiting
PET-MR scan study for head and neck squamous cancer
This study uses a combined PET/MR scan to better look at head and neck squamous cell cancer before or during treatment. It may help doctors see where the cancer is and how far it has spread, to support planning for curative radiation treatment.
TromsøAges 18 years+ - NCT04624490RecruitingPhase 1
Lung function MRI using a special gas in volunteers
This Phase 1 study tests a lung scan that uses a special gas and MRI to measure how well your lungs work. It includes healthy volunteers and people with lung disease to see how well the scan works and how safe it is.
Kansas City, KansasAges 3 years+ - NCT04629326Recruiting
Imaging scan that targets PD-L1 in digestive cancer
This study tests an imaging method that looks for PD-L1 (a protein linked to some cancers) in solid tumors, including gastrointestinal cancers. It may help doctors better see where PD-L1 is in the body using a scan.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT04645628Recruiting
Improving MRI scan order for better comfort and image quality
This study looks at the best order to take MRI images so scans are more comfortable and produce better-quality pictures. You may be eligible if you are having an MRI of many body areas as part of your routine care.
NancyAges 18 years+ - NCT04653064Recruiting
Brain imaging study of how people feel heat and pain
This study uses MRI scans to understand how your brain responds to different feelings, including mild heat pain. It may help researchers learn more about pain and brain processing by comparing your responses during the tests.
Hanover, New HampshireAges 18 years+ - NCT04657042Recruiting
4D MRI scans to guide lung or liver cancer radiation
This trial tests whether special “4D” MRI scans can improve precision radiation planning for people with lung or liver cancer. You may get MRI scan data to better account for tumor movement, alongside your usual radiation treatment.
Charlottesville, VirginiaAges 18–82 - NCT04662970Recruiting
Imaging after a heart device to optimize pacing settings
This study uses a heart MRI (a special scan) to better map the heart’s electrical activity, with the goal of fine-tuning settings on your implanted pacing device. It’s meant to improve how well the device coordinates your heartbeat.
Innsbruck, TyrolAges 18 years+ - NCT04671667RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab vs chemo-radiation after surgery for recurrent head/neck cancer
This trial tests whether pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy drug) works better than the usual chemo plus radiation after surgery for cancer that has come back in the head and neck area. It may help reduce cancer returning or spreading by using your immune system, but eligibility depends on how the cancer came back and your prior treatments.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–79 - NCT04692818Recruiting
3D ultrasound imaging for women with a breast lump
This study tests how well a new 3D ultrasound method can “see” a solid breast lump that is being biopsied. It may help doctors get clearer images to guide diagnosis, especially alongside a standard biopsy.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT04692675Recruiting
MRI study to track prostate cancer in active surveillance patients
This study uses special prostate MRI scans to see how prostate cancer changes over time while you stay on active surveillance. It also looks at prostate tissue to understand your cancer’s genetics, which may help guide future decisions.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT04706910RecruitingPhase 3
PET scan study to optimize imaging in several diseases
This trial improves a special PET scan (a type of brain/body imaging) using 18F-DOPA, to better show how certain conditions behave in the body. If you or your child may have one of the listed conditions, the study may help your doctors get clearer scan results.
Edmonton, AlbertaAges Any age - NCT04708613Recruiting
Brain testing study for former football players and controls
This study looks at how the brain and thinking may be affected by playing professional football, using brain scans and thinking tests. It also compares former players with similar men who did not play organized football beyond high school.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for imaging?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 2,204 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.
