Recruiting studies
- 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+ - 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.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 8 years+ - NCT03232463Enrolling by invitation
Testing an advanced MRI scan in everyday clinic care
This study checks whether a more advanced MRI scan can be safely used in regular clinical practice. If you need an MRI for a health problem, the study may help your care team use the newer scan approach.
Santa Monica, CaliforniaAges 18–65 - NCT03149341Enrolling by invitation
MRI and computer-heart simulations for heart disease
This study uses MRI scans and computer simulations to learn more about how the heart and blood flow work in people with certain heart or lung conditions. It may help researchers better understand heart problems and improve future care.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT03933670RecruitingPhase 2
MRI scan with special sugar to monitor prostate cancer on surveillance
This study uses a special MRI scan using “hyperpolarized” labeled pyruvate (a sugar-like substance) to see how prostate cancer may be behaving in people who are on active surveillance. It may help researchers monitor cancer without immediate treatment, by spotting changes earlier.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 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+ - NCT03581318Recruiting
Heart MRI study for people with and without heart disease
This study uses magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to take detailed pictures of the heart. It aims to improve how doctors use heart MRI to diagnose and manage heart conditions.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 7–100 - NCT03067467Recruiting
MRI scan study of brain tumors using special carbon imaging
This trial uses a special MRI scan that shows how “metabolism” (how cells use fuel) differs in brain tumors. It may help researchers better understand tumor biology and how tumors may respond to treatment, without using chemotherapy or radiation as part of the study.
Dallas, TexasAges 18–70 - NCT03830151RecruitingPhase 1
C-13 pyruvate MRI to help diagnose brain gliomas
This early-phase study tests a special MRI scan using C-13 pyruvate to help identify and understand gliomas (a type of brain tumor) in people with brain tumors going to surgery or biopsy. It may help doctors see tumor signals better before or around the time of your procedure.
Houston, TexasAges 19 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 - NCT05873699RecruitingPhase 1
MRI test using a special food-like tracer for pancreatic cyst surgery
This Phase 1 study tests a specialized MRI scan using a tracer (hyperpolarized 13C-pyruvate) in people who have pancreatic cysts and are scheduled for surgery or a cyst wall biopsy. The scan may help doctors better understand cyst-related biology while you receive standard surgical care.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06185972RecruitingPhase 2
MRI-guided ultrasound radiation for breast and chest cancer
This trial tests a new way to give radiation therapy using MRI imaging and ultrasound to make the radiation more targeted and potentially safer. If you have chest-wall or breast cancer and are already scheduled for radiation, this approach might offer a more precise treatment option.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06457217Recruiting
MRSI for minor stroke with large artery blockage
This study uses a special MRI technique (called MRSI) to look at brain chemistry in people who have had a minor stroke due to a blocked large artery. The goal is to see if the scan can help doctors better understand the stroke and guide treatment decisions.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–100 - NCT06551805Recruiting
Ferumoxytol for better MRI images in atherosclerosis patients
This study tests whether a special iron-based contrast agent called ferumoxytol can improve MRI images of arteries affected by atherosclerosis. It may help doctors see blockages or inflammation more clearly.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT01542879RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
MR scan for cancer staging without radiation in children and adults
This study tests a radiation-free whole-body MRI method to help doctors stage (find and measure) certain cancers. It may reduce radiation exposure compared with scans that use X-rays or radioactive tracers, while still checking how far cancer has spread.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 6–40 - NCT02855554Recruiting
MRI heart scan study for specific heart conditions
This study uses a special MRI approach to measure details of your heart muscle in people with certain heart problems. It may help researchers better understand how different conditions affect the heart and how those changes can be measured.
Charleston, South CarolinaAges 18–90 - NCT00870129Recruiting
MRI mapping to plan radiation for certain brain tumors
This study uses MRI scans to find higher-risk areas in certain brain and other solid tumors and help plan radiation treatment. It also looks for changes in tumor “metabolites” (chemicals in the tumor) that may relate to how the tumor behaves.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06252493Recruiting
PET/MR scan for Crohn's disease scar tissue
This study is testing a new imaging method that uses a special PET/MR scan to see how active Crohn's disease is in your bowel. The scan uses a harmless radioactive tracer that attaches to scar tissue, which may help doctors better understand the disease and guide treatment.
Charlestown, MassachusettsAges 18–99 - NCT01728597Recruiting
Cardiac MRI scan without contrast for normal imaging values
This study measures normal heart images using an MRI scan without contrast dye. It’s meant to improve and standardize how doctors collect heart images for future patients.
Graz, StyriaAges 18–80 - NCT05990244Recruiting
MRE scan to measure brain tumor stiffness before surgery
This study uses a special MRI called magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) to measure how stiff a brain tumor (glioma) is and how well it sticks to nearby brain tissue. The goal is to help doctors better prepare for surgery by knowing these details beforehand.
Shenyang, LiaoningAges 18–80 - NCT07401771Recruiting
Exercise heart MRI in heart failure with preserved pumping strength
This study uses a special exercise MRI to see how the heart works during activity in people with a type of heart failure where the heart's pumping strength is normal. It also includes people with shortness of breath from other causes and healthy volunteers to compare results.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18–80 - NCT07608081Recruiting

Personalized infliximab dosing for active Crohn's fistulas
This study tests whether adjusting the dose of infliximab (a biologic medicine given by IV) based on drug levels in your blood works better for treating draining fistulas caused by Crohn's disease. It is for people who have not tried other biologics and whose fistulas have not healed with usual treatments.
SeoulAges 19–80 - NCT04508088Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for magnetic resonance imaging?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 737 recruiting magnetic resonance 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 magnetic resonance 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 magnetic resonance 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.
