PET/CT scans to find the cause of ectopic Cushing syndrome
This trial tests several special imaging scans to help doctors locate the source of hormone overproduction in ectopic Cushing syndrome. It may help confirm where the problem is so treatment can be better targeted.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–80 - NCT01973881Recruiting
MRI testing in adults with myelofibrosis
This study uses special MRI scans to learn more about myelofibrosis and how it behaves in the body. It may help researchers build better ways to measure the disease using imaging, without needing anesthesia.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18–99 - 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+ - NCT00795080Enrolling by invitation
Neck MRI study of fluid flow in spine and skull problems
This study uses special MRI scans to measure how fluid moves around the brain and spinal cord. It may help researchers better understand craniovertebral junction (CVJ) and Chiari I malformations by comparing fluid-flow patterns during neck movement.
Ages 12 years+ - NCT01745237Recruiting
Heart MRI to predict health outcomes
This study uses a routine heart MRI to help doctors predict how your heart condition may progress. It aims to improve future treatment decisions by looking at detailed images of your heart.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT07526545Recruiting
Urine test and MRI for early prostate cancer detection
This study tests a new urine test combined with an MRI to find prostate cancer early. It may help avoid unnecessary biopsies.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 50–75 - NCT04662658RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing a special MRI gas scan of healthy lungs
This study tests a special MRI scan that uses a “hyperpolarized” gas to look at how well the lungs are working. It’s likely looking for safe imaging results and clear lung measurements in people without lung disease.
Charlottesville, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT03716401Recruiting
Imaging tests to predict kidney disease in type 2 diabetes
This study uses special kidney imaging to look for patterns that can predict how diabetic kidney disease may progress. It may help researchers find better ways to identify people at higher risk using noninvasive (and possibly biopsy-related) tests.
TurkuAges 18–80 - NCT03961776Recruiting
MRI to monitor treatment response in rectal cancer
This trial tests whether an MRI scan done during chemoradiation can help doctors track how rectal cancer treatment is working. It may improve how they measure response early so treatment planning can be better tailored.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT02329093Recruiting
Hip osteoarthritis with pain, testing non-weight bearing
This study looks at whether reducing weight on the hip can help slow how hip arthritis shows up on X-rays in people who have hip joint pain. It may be an option if your pain is from hip arthritis rather than a clear fracture.
Matsumoto, NaganoAges Any age - NCT05102825Recruiting
Lung MRI registry to track breathing health
This study builds a lung imaging registry using MRI pictures to learn how breathing health looks and changes. It may help researchers understand lung problems and how well different people can complete breathing-related MRI scans.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges birth–99 years - NCT03617133RecruitingPhase 2
MRI-guided radiation plus chemo for cervical cancer
This trial tests a more precise way to deliver radiation for locally advanced cervical cancer using MRI guidance during treatment, along with chemotherapy. It may help shrink tumors more effectively while aiming to reduce side effects by targeting the right areas.
ViennaAges 18–99 - NCT04118790Recruiting
MRI study of brain microstructure after stroke
This study uses detailed brain MRI scans to learn how brain tissue changes after stroke or a TIA (a brief stroke-like event). It may help researchers better understand brain recovery and improve future care.
Copenhagen, København NVAges 18 years+ - NCT03206190Recruiting
Study for early SPG4 symptoms in family members
This study looks at people in families with a known SPG4 gene change (a SPAST mutation) to understand early, subtle signs and the beginning of symptoms. It may help researchers find better ways to detect SPG4 earlier, before full walking problems start.
TübingenAges 18–70 - NCT04443439Recruiting
MRI study to assess stroke risk from carotid narrowing
This study looks at how dangerous carotid artery narrowing (blood vessels in the neck that supply the brain) might be, using CT and MRI information. It may help doctors better judge stroke risk for people with mild, moderate, or severe narrowing.
Xi'anAges Any age - NCT05603078Recruiting
Breast cancer surgery with a tumor-bed boost and standard radiation
This study looks at whether adding extra targeted radiation to the tumor area before breast-conserving surgery, then using modern breast surgery techniques and whole-breast radiation afterward, improves outcomes for early-stage breast cancer. You may be offered a treatment plan designed to better treat the area where the tumor was removed.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges Up to 55 years - NCT05629000Recruiting
Study of treatment planning after carotid artery narrowing
This study looks at an approach to better plan treatment for people with significant narrowing of the carotid artery (the main artery to the brain). It may help doctors choose safer, more effective care after surgery.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05698576Recruiting
Laser treatment through the skin for men with prostate cancer
This trial tests a laser procedure done through the skin between the scrotum and anus, guided by MRI and ultrasound, for men with certain prostate cancer types. It aims to heat and treat prostate cancer while checking safety and outcomes over follow-up visits.
Hialeah, FloridaAges 50–80 - NCT02381990Recruiting
MRI- and ultrasound-guided freezing treatment for low-risk prostate cancer
This trial tests using MRI and ultrasound together to guide freezing (cryoablation) treatment for prostate cancer. It may help target the tumor more precisely while avoiding areas that could cause side effects.
Miami Lakes, FloridaAges 55 years+ - NCT05804643Recruiting
MRI scans to study swelling from breast cancer
This study uses special MRI (a detailed body scan) to better evaluate arm or hand swelling caused by breast-cancer–related lymphedema. It may help doctors understand how to measure lymphedema more accurately.
TaipeiAges 20 years+ - NCT05885295Recruiting
Testing thinking and memory after stroke using cognitive exams
This study looks at how thinking and memory change after a stroke using short cognitive tests. It may help researchers better understand which brain changes affect thinking, and how to measure them accurately.
LondonAges 18 years+ - NCT05924347Recruiting
Imaging study to spot early spine changes in at-risk children
This study uses MRI and physical measurements to look for early signs of scoliosis (a side-bending of the spine) in children who are at higher risk. It may help doctors understand when scoliosis starts and improve early monitoring.
UtrechtAges 8–11 - NCT05996653Recruiting
CEST in low-grade glioma brain tumor study
This study uses a special MRI scan called CEST to look at low-grade brain tumors. It may help doctors learn more about these tumors without needing as many invasive tests. You may join if you have a low-grade glioma and haven't needed treatment yet.

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.
