Recruiting studies
- NCT04600115RecruitingEarly Phase 1
New MRI methods for heart failure with preserved pumping function
This study tests advanced MRI techniques to better understand heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), a condition where the heart pumps normally but still doesn't work well. It may help improve diagnosis and treatment for patients with this type of heart failure.
Salt Lake City, UtahAges 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 - NCT04680130Enrolling by invitation
Study of brain, genetics, and clinical symptoms in neurodegenerative illness
This study looks at how your symptoms, brain imaging (MRI), and genetic factors relate to neurodegenerative conditions. It may help researchers better understand what causes these illnesses and how to classify them.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 21 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+ - NCT04126018Recruiting
MRI scan comparison for certain leaking or narrowed heart valves
This trial studies how well different MRI images can assess heart valve problems—like leaking (regurgitation) or narrowing (stenosis). It may help doctors get clearer information, especially in people who may not respond well to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT).
Cleveland, OhioAges 18–90 - NCT04582916RecruitingPhase 1
PET scan study of inflammation in major depression
This Phase 1 study uses a PET brain scan to look at inflammation-related activity (cyclooxygenase) in people with major depressive disorder (MDD). It may help researchers better understand how depression is connected to inflammation in the brain.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–70 - 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+ - NCT04521764RecruitingPhase 1
Vaccine for Metastatic Breast Cancer
This trial tests a vaccine (MV-s-NAP) that is injected directly into a tumor to stimulate your immune system against breast cancer. It is for people with metastatic breast cancer that has spread despite prior treatments.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 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+ - 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 - NCT04504526RecruitingEarly Phase 1
New imaging for diagnosing lymphoma
This study tests a new imaging method called CXCR4 PET/CT that may help doctors better see and understand lymphomas (a type of blood cancer). It is for people who are newly diagnosed or suspected of having lymphoma and have already had a standard PET/CT.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18–80 - NCT04576793RecruitingPhase 2
Imaging brain inflammation in Alzheimer’s and related variants over time
This Phase 2 study uses repeated brain MRI scans to track “microglial activation,” which is a marker of brain immune/inflammation activity, in different Alzheimer’s-related conditions. It may help researchers understand how brain inflammation changes over time and differs between people with these clinical variants.
New York, New YorkAges 50 years+ - NCT04505618Recruiting
Eye scan study using special imaging for blood-vessel disease
This study uses a detailed eye scan (optical coherence tomography angiography) to look at how blood vessels in the retina are affected. It may help researchers better understand retinal vascular diseases, though some people will be excluded for safety or image-quality reasons.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–99 - NCT00181233Recruiting
MRI imaging to assess sudden heart risk factors
This study tests heart imaging (using MRI) to better identify factors linked to sudden cardiac death risk. You may be eligible if you have reduced heart pumping ability and are planning a specific heart device to prevent dangerous heart rhythms.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT04431024Recruiting
Testing imaging and biopsy options for people with BAP1 risk
This study looks at how well advanced scans, liquid biopsy tests, and small follow-up procedures can find early mesothelioma in people with a high-risk BAP1 gene condition. It may help catch cancer earlier when treatment could work better.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 30–120 - NCT04396873RecruitingPhase 1
PET brain scan study of inflammation markers in neurodegeneration
This Phase 1 study tests a PET scan to measure inflammation-related changes in the brain using a medication called ketoprofen. It may help researchers understand which people with certain brain diseases could benefit from treatments aimed at inflammation.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–99 - NCT04445584Recruiting
7-Tesla MRI study of the spine in people with no symptoms
This study uses a very strong MRI scanner to look at the spine’s fine details. It may help researchers better understand normal spine anatomy and how it appears in people with chronic back pain.
Zurich, Canton of ZurichAges 18 years+ - NCT04399941Recruiting
Ultrasound inside the blood vessel for dialysis access issues
This trial tests a special type of ultrasound placed inside a blood vessel to better understand problems with dialysis access. It may help doctors find the cause of access malfunction during your diagnostic fistulogram.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–85 - NCT04415372Enrolling by invitation
MRI brain scan study for white and gray matter in MS
This study uses detailed MRI scans to look at brain “white matter” and “gray matter” changes in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). It may help researchers better understand how MS affects the brain and relates to symptoms.
Madison, WisconsinAges 18–60 - NCT04441554Recruiting

This study uses a very powerful 7 Tesla MRI scanner to take detailed pictures of the spine. It compares people with long-term back pain to healthy volunteers to better understand normal spine anatomy.
Zurich, Canton of ZurichAges 18 years+ - NCT04479696Recruiting
Video coaching to ease anxiety during brain tumor radiation
This study tests a personalized video meant to reduce stress and anxiety for people getting radiation for brain tumors, and for their caregivers. You and your caregiver would complete short questionnaires before and after using the video support.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04420702Recruiting
MRI scan study to improve prostate detection

Comparing chemotherapy options for newly diagnosed AML in young patients
This trial compares standard chemotherapy with newer drug combinations (CPX-351 and gilteritinib) for children and young adults with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), a type of blood cancer. It aims to find which treatment works better and who might benefit from targeted therapy based on specific genetic changes (FLT3 mutations).

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for imaging?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 2,160 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.
