This study checks a specific MRI measurement (called T1rho) in healthy people. It helps researchers understand how this scan works and what it can show, using volunteers rather than patients.
Hong KongAges 18 years+ - NCT04880226Recruiting
MRI scan used safely during guided ablation planning
This study checks whether a special kind of MRI scan is safe enough to use during planning for an MRI-guided ablation procedure. It may help improve how these procedures are done while keeping additional risk low.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT04629469Recruiting
Two types of MRI scans in children
This study compares two MRI scan settings (a lower and higher magnetic field) in children to see how well they work for pediatric patients. It may help doctors choose the best MRI approach for kids without changing any care beyond the scan itself.
Kansas City, MissouriAges birth–22 years - NCT04771806Recruiting
MRI-guided adaptive radiation for high-grade brain tumors
This study uses repeated MRI scans with a contrast dye to help doctors tailor (adapt) your radiation treatment over time for a high-grade glioma. It may help improve how accurately radiation targets the tumor as it changes.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04763109Recruiting
MRI scan with AI to spot early changes in NF1 children
This study uses special MRI scans plus computer (AI) analysis to look for early, possibly cancer-related skin or tissue changes in children with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1). If it works, it could help doctors detect concerning changes earlier and plan care sooner.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 5–17 - NCT03758521Recruiting
Natural history study of SSADH deficiency in children and adults
This study tracks how SSADH deficiency (a genetic condition) affects health over time. There is no new drug being tested; instead, researchers collect medical history and perform certain optional scans/tests that can help describe disease patterns and future treatment needs.
Boston, MassachusettsAges Any age - NCT04649008RecruitingEarly Phase 1
MRI and brain electrodes to map epilepsy areas
This early study looks at how MRI scans and implanted brain electrodes (intracranial EEG) can pinpoint where seizures start, especially in the temporal (side) lobe. It may help doctors better localize seizure sources for people whose seizures don’t respond well to medications.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04540107RecruitingPhase 1
MRI scan study to characterize lower-grade brain tumors
This Phase 1 study uses special MRI scans (including a form of MR spectroscopy) to better understand lower-grade gliomas. It is designed to test how well the imaging can “characterize” the tumor and to improve understanding for treatment planning.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04458883Recruiting
Cardiac MRI test in people with prior heart attack
This study uses special heart MRI scans to improve how heart images are made and interpreted. You may be asked to undergo MRI testing to help compare scans in people with a past heart attack and healthy volunteers.
Aberdeen, AberdeenshireAges 20 years+ - NCT04265430RecruitingPhase 4
MRI scans to predict normal-tissue side effects after treatment
This trial uses repeated MRI scans to better predict which patients may develop painful jaw and mouth tissue problems after radiation and/or certain bone or blood-vessel medicines. It may help clinicians spot problems earlier and tailor follow-up care.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04373720Recruiting
MRI scan to tell scar from tumor in treated brain glioma
This study uses an advanced MRI scan to help doctors tell the difference between radiation scar (radiation necrosis) and returning glioma (recurrent glioma) after prior treatment. It may help guide the next steps for care if you have a new or changing brain lesion.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT03674645Recruiting
