ACL injury study using your pre-surgery MRI
This trial studies ACL (knee ligament) injuries and how the tibia (shin bone) shifts, using MRI scans taken before surgery. It may help doctors better understand knee instability and improve how ACL injuries are evaluated and treated.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT04869813Enrolling by invitation
MRI study in heart failure and healthy adults
This study uses an MRI scan to better measure muscle loss (sarcopenia) and heart function. It may help researchers find clearer ways to assess these conditions and track changes over time.
Cleveland, OhioAges 40 years+ - NCT04734626Enrolling by invitation
Leg MRI study for mitochondrial muscle weakness
This study uses an MRI scan of the lower leg to look for signs of muscle problems in people with suspected or confirmed mitochondrial disease, and compares them with healthy volunteers. Participants will lie still in the MRI and do a short, mild exercise during the scan to help the researchers see how muscles work.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 7–75 - 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+ - NCT04599192Enrolling by invitation
Test heart procedure planning in women using pressure measurements
This trial compares two strategies for deciding which heart blockages to treat, using special pressure and blood-flow measurements during a heart procedure. It may help doctors choose more accurate treatment by tailoring the plan to each person’s heart blood flow.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT04269447Enrolling by invitation
Collecting samples from people with abdominal aortic aneurysm
This study sets up a long-term biobank by collecting health information and tissue/blood samples from people with an abdominal aortic aneurysm. It may help doctors better understand what causes aneurysms and how to detect or treat them in the future.
Solna, Stockholm CountyAges 50–80 - NCT04104659Enrolling by invitation
Tau PET scan study to map brain changes in Alzheimer’s
This study tests a PET scan “tracer” medicine called [18F]MK-6240 to see how tau protein changes show up in the brain. It may help researchers measure disease-related brain changes in people with normal thinking or mild dementia.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT03585153Enrolling by invitation
Pancreas imaging study in people with type 1 diabetes
This study takes pictures of the pancreas in children and teens (and likely adults) with type 1 diabetes soon after diagnosis. The goal is to learn more about how the pancreas changes with diabetes, which may help future care.

Tracking brain changes in probable Lewy body dementia
This trial follows people with probable Lewy body dementia over several years to see how the brain changes on MRI and on memory/thinking tests. It may help researchers understand disease progression and improve future care for Lewy body dementia.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT03502967Enrolling by invitationEarly Phase 1
Hyperpolarized carbon-13 brain scan for recent traumatic brain injury
This early study tests a special brain imaging scan that looks at brain metabolism after a recent concussion/traumatic brain injury (TBI). It may help researchers understand what’s happening in the brain soon after injury.

Use of chest CT scans from WTC Health Plan participants
This study creates a research archive of chest CT scan images from people enrolled in the World Trade Center (WTC) Health Plan program at Mount Sinai. It may help doctors and researchers better understand and track chest health over time using existing scan images.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for imaging?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 2,186 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.
