This study uses advanced MRI pictures of the fetus (the baby) and placenta to better understand normal development and possible problems. You may qualify if you’re between 18 and 40 weeks pregnant and can have the MRI safely.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–45 - NCT05692635RecruitingPhase 2
Brain MRI checks to prevent lung cancer brain symptoms
This trial tests whether doing scheduled brain MRI scans can lower the chance that lung cancer later causes symptomatic brain metastases (tumors that cause symptoms in the brain). If you’re eligible, you’ll get brain MRI surveillance at a specific time after starting radiation.
Winston-Salem, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT05685160Enrolling by invitation
Foot ultrasound and MRI study for forefoot pain
This study uses imaging (an exam plus ultrasound and MRI) to help understand causes of pain between the toes, such as a small pad inflammation or nerve irritation (Morton’s neuroma). It may help researchers better match imaging findings to the likely cause of your symptoms.
CopenhagenAges 18 years+ - NCT05659147Enrolling by invitationPhase 4
MRI study of pancreas function in children with pancreatic issues
This study uses a special pancreas MRI to see how well the pancreas works and how pancreas disease changes over time. It also compares MRI findings in children with different pancreas conditions, including suspected pancreatic insufficiency and episodes of pancreatitis.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 5–21 - NCT05599048RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
MRI scan using a special sugar to study solid tumors
This early-phase study tests whether a special MRI scan with injected labeled “pyruvate” can act as a biomarker (a measurable sign) for advanced solid tumor activity. It may help doctors see tumor metabolism over time and better track how treatment is affecting cancer.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05553899Recruiting
PET-MRI scans for monitoring children’s brain tumor return
This study checks whether a special scan called PET-MRI can better tell if a child’s brain tumor has come back after treatment. It may help doctors decide faster and more accurately when changes seen on regular MRI are true tumor recurrence.
Sheffield, South YorkshireAges 8–18 - NCT05486520Enrolling by invitation
Low-field MRI test for breast cancer screening
This study tests a special MRI scanner that uses much weaker magnets to look at breast tissue for screening and possible follow-up. It may help find breast changes while aiming to reduce noise and discomfort compared with standard MRI.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 20–80 - NCT05438563Recruiting
MRI-guided prostate cancer ablation with ultrasound from the urethra
This trial tests a newer way to treat certain low- to intermediate-risk prostate cancers using MRI guidance and an ultrasound probe placed through the urethra. It aims to destroy the tumor while using imaging to help target it more precisely.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 45–80 - NCT05326581Recruiting
Improving MRI comfort by optimizing scanning sequences
This study looks at whether changing the MRI scan settings can make the exam more comfortable and improve image quality. You may be able to help researchers find ways to make MRI easier to tolerate while still getting clear pictures.
Paris, ParisAges 1.5 years+ - NCT05263804Recruiting
Study uses MRI and blood clues after ischemic stroke
This study looks for biological and imaging markers that may predict heart/vascular outcomes after an ischemic stroke. You may join if you are eligible for standard stroke treatment and can complete planned follow-up and MRI scans.
BronAges 18 years+ - NCT05212272Recruiting
MRI plus cognitive testing during glioma chemoradiation
This study uses MRI scans and related brain/cognitive testing while you receive standard chemotherapy and radiation for a high-grade brain tumor. It aims to see how MRI measures and brain testing may relate to your treatment response or brain function.
Winston-Salem, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT02973633RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Heart failure MRI brain-wave images after heart trouble
This early-phase study uses a special MRI scan to look at the heart in people with heart failure (and related heart changes). It aims to see whether these MRI results can better characterize heart disease and help doctors understand what’s going on.
Charlestown, MassachusettsAges 18–85 - NCT03267459Recruiting
MRI test before treatment to predict chemotherapy response
This trial looks at whether an MRI scan done before treatment can help predict how well intra-arterial chemotherapy will work for retinoblastoma. If you qualify, your MRI results may help doctors estimate your response and guide care.
ParisAges Any age - NCT04448938Recruiting
MRI study for optic neuritis recovery signals
This study uses a special MRI scan while you rest to look for brain and eye signals that may relate to recovery in people with suspected optic neuritis. If you’re eligible, it may help researchers better understand what predicts vision improvement.
