MRI test in newborns with breathing problems (BPD)
This study uses MRI (a special scan) to look at babies with bronchopulmonary dysplasia, a long-term breathing condition that can happen after being in the NICU. It aims to learn more about what’s happening in the lungs and how MRI can be used safely in these babies.
Cincinnati, OhioAges Up to 4 months - NCT04819737Recruiting
MRI scan study to better detect spinal cord changes in MS
This study tests new MRI scan methods to more clearly find spinal cord lesions in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). It may help improve how MS spinal cord changes are seen on scans.
BaselAges 18 years+ - NCT04651010Recruiting
MRI study to predict outcomes after clot removal in stroke
This study uses special MRI scans to look for patterns that may predict recovery after a specific type of stroke caused by a blocked brain artery. It may help doctors choose the best treatment and better understand who benefits most from clot removal.
PoitiersAges 18 years+ - NCT04660955Enrolling by invitation
10-year follow-up MRI after ACL surgery in young athletes
This study uses an MRI scan to look at knees 10 years after ACL reconstruction. It helps researchers understand how the knee changes over time after sports-related ACL injury, and how well reconstruction lasts.
Cleveland, OhioAges 22–45 - NCT04645628Recruiting
Improving MRI scan order for better comfort and image quality
This study looks at the best order to take MRI images so scans are more comfortable and produce better-quality pictures. You may be eligible if you are having an MRI of many body areas as part of your routine care.
NancyAges 18 years+ - NCT04536103Recruiting
Accelerated MRI scans after ACL knee injury surgery
This trial tests a faster MRI scan method to measure healing in the knee after an ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) tear and reconstruction. It may help researchers compare scan quality while participants go through standard rehab.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18–50 - NCT04441554Recruiting
Ultra-high-resolution MRI of the spine
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+ - NCT04441983Recruiting
High-resolution foot MRI trial for patients and volunteers
This trial uses a powerful 7T MRI scanner to get detailed images of the foot and extremities. It includes patients with specific conditions (like Morton neuroma or tendon tears) and healthy volunteers, aiming to understand normal and diseased tissue better.
Zurich, Canton of ZurichAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT04328532Recruiting
MRI check for abnormal placenta attachment risk
This study uses an MRI scan during late pregnancy to look for signs that the placenta may be abnormally attached. The goal is to help doctors plan safer care before birth, especially for people with higher-risk pregnancy features.
Vandœuvre-lès-NancyAges 18 years+ - NCT04218617RecruitingPhase 2
One vs two radiation treatments for spine metastases
This trial tests whether giving radiation to a spine metastasis in one dose works as well as giving it in two smaller doses. It aims to control tumors while keeping side effects and risk to the spinal cord low.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT03999138Recruiting
MRI study of lung fluid changes in acute heart failure
This study uses MRI scans to measure lung fluid (pulmonary edema) in people hospitalized for acute heart failure. It aims to see how well the lung fluid responds to standard treatments like water pills (diuretics) given in the first couple of days.
Edmonton, AlbertaAges 18 years+ - NCT04020276Recruiting
Adaptive MRI radiation for liver metastases
This study tests a radiation treatment that uses real-time MRI (an imaging scan) to guide the dose for liver metastases. It may help control tumors while aiming to better protect nearby healthy liver tissue.
Madison, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT03784924Recruiting
Prostate MRI study to find blood and urine cancer signals
This study enrolls men who may have prostate cancer but do not yet have a diagnosis. It uses prostate MRI along with blood and urine tests to see if specific signals can help identify prostate cancer sooner.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT00748254Recruiting
Laser imaging test for rheumatoid arthritis inflammation
This study uses a laser-based imaging method to “see” inflammation in people with rheumatoid arthritis. It may help researchers better understand how active joint inflammation looks and how it changes.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT03674645Recruiting
MRI test in healthy adults to improve scan sequences
This study tests and fine-tunes new MRI scan methods on a research MRI machine. It aims to improve how MRI images are captured, which could help future patients get clearer scans.
PessacAges 18 years+ - NCT03648359Enrolling by invitation
MRI scans to monitor low-risk prostate cancer in active surveillance
This trial uses special MRI scans to help track low-risk prostate cancer while you stay on active surveillance (meaning no immediate treatment). It may help your care team better understand changes in the cancer over time.
HerlevAges 18–75 - NCT03483337Recruiting
MRI scan tests new markers for head and neck cancers
This trial tests special MRI scans to find warning signs of cancer that has returned or spread in the head and neck area. It may help doctors see these changes more clearly, which could improve treatment planning.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT03054792Enrolling by invitationPhase 1
MRI test to map low-oxygen areas in childhood sarcomas
This Phase 1 study uses special MRI scans to look at “low-oxygen” parts of a childhood sarcoma. It aims to help doctors better understand the tumor before standard treatment that may include chemotherapy and sometimes radiation.
Toronto, OntarioAges 6–18 - NCT03137095Recruiting
Study how chemotherapy affects brain function in breast cancer
This study looks at changes in thinking and brain function in people with early to locally advanced breast cancer before and during chemotherapy. You may also be offered a brain MRI in a separate optional part of the research to learn more about brain changes.
Rochester, New YorkAges 21 years+ - NCT02829190RecruitingPhase 3
MRI test to map blood flow in neck arteries
This study checks whether a special MRI scan can measure blood flow in certain neck artery branches. It compares results in different groups (healthy people and people with past neck radiation or procedures) to see how well the scan works.
Amiens, PicardieAges 18–70 - NCT02351141Recruiting
MRI study of lung function in people with asthma
This study uses MRI pictures to learn how asthma affects breathing and lung function. If you have asthma and can do breathing tests, you may be asked to take part to help researchers understand asthma better.
London, OntarioAges 18–60

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for mri?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 909 recruiting mri 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 mri 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 mri 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.
