Study how mild brain injuries may relate to dementia
This study looks at how past mild traumatic brain injury may contribute to brain changes seen in chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) and Alzheimer’s disease (AD). It may help researchers understand risk and brain markers by comparing people with mild or moderate TBI, people with mild memory problems, and healthy controls.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 30–90 - NCT04166526Recruiting
Brain and brain-vessel MRI study in kids with sickle cell
This study uses MRI scans to understand how the brain and blood vessels are affected in children with sickle cell disease, including before and after certain treatments. It also includes healthy children for comparison and may help improve future monitoring and care.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 8–18 - NCT04197297RecruitingPhase 2
Brain scan tests for biomarkers in people with brain metastases
This trial studies brain scan findings to see if specific imaging markers can help understand or predict outcomes in people with brain metastases. It may help researchers improve how brain metastases are evaluated before radiation treatment.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT04247685Recruiting
MRI-safe heart rhythm test in people with atrial fibrillation
This trial checks whether a specific MRI-safe 12-lead heart recording (ECG) works correctly during MRI scans. It may help improve how doctors monitor heart rhythm while imaging, especially for people with atrial fibrillation.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18–90 - NCT04250493Recruiting
Testing insulin resistance in multiple system atrophy
This study looks at how the body handles blood sugar (insulin resistance) in people with multiple system atrophy (MSA). Results may help doctors understand the disease better and explore new ways to monitor or treat it.
BordeauxAges 30 years+ - NCT04262830Recruiting
Heart scans to predict future heart failure after chemotherapy
This trial uses detailed heart imaging (a special MRI scan) to see how chemotherapy may have affected your heart and to predict who could develop heart failure later. If you qualify, it may help your care team better monitor your heart health over time.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 13–39 - NCT04281329Recruiting
CT and heart MRI add-on for atrial fibrillation ablation
This trial studies whether CT scans and heart MRI scans (done around the time of atrial fibrillation ablation) can help care planning and results. It may help your team better understand your heart before and after the procedure.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT04334707Recruiting
Study kidney damage in people with long-term diabetes
This study is looking at different kidney health patterns in people with diabetes, especially diabetic kidney disease and people who have not developed kidney damage despite long-term diabetes. It may help researchers understand why kidney problems happen—and what protective factors might prevent them.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT04370366Recruiting
7T MRI scan for suspected one-sided Meniere’s disease
This trial uses an advanced MRI (7 Tesla) to look at a specific inner-ear swelling pattern in people with recent, one-sided Meniere’s disease symptoms. It may help confirm the diagnosis and improve how clinicians evaluate your inner-ear condition.
LondonAges 18 years+ - NCT04373564RecruitingPhase 4
Tracking brain and movement changes after repeated MRI contrast
This study looks at whether getting the MRI contrast dye multiple times over 5 years affects body movement and thinking skills. It compares people who had the dye repeatedly with people who have little or no exposure, using brain MRI scans and regular mental and movement testing.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18–64 - NCT04412187Recruiting
Study of inflammation after a new stroke
This study looks at inflammation-related changes soon after an acute ischemic stroke (a type caused by a blocked blood vessel). It may help researchers understand what factors drive recovery and how they could be targeted in the future.
Munich, GermanyAges 50 years+ - NCT04420702Recruiting
MRI scan study to improve prostate detection
This trial studies special MRI images to learn how well they can find prostate cancer before treatment. It may help doctors choose better next steps during biopsy or during active surveillance.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT04449666Recruiting
Brain scan and memory testing after bleeding from a brain aneurysm
This trial uses brain MRI scans and memory/brain-function tests in people who are recovering from a specific type of brain bleed (aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage). It aims to understand how the brain’s memory area changes after the event and how that may relate to memory function during rehabilitation.
Hessisch OldendorfAges 18–70 - NCT04451278Recruiting
Brain scan study to predict outcomes after epilepsy surgery in kids
This trial uses resting-state brain MRI (a scan while you’re not doing a task) to help predict how well children with hard-to-treat epilepsy may do after surgery. If you qualify, you would help researchers see whether the scan can forecast prognosis.
Paris, PARISAges 6–18 - NCT04452162Recruiting
MRI study for salivary gland tumors
This trial uses special MRI scans to learn how salivary gland tumors work in the body. It may help improve diagnosis and how tumors are evaluated without needing treatment yet.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04490317Recruiting
Study follows people with carbon monoxide poisoning in Korea
This study looks at people who have been sickened by carbon monoxide (CO) from an accident or exposure. It aims to better understand what happens over time, which could help improve care and outcomes in the future.

Radiation planning study using MRI for adults with cancer
This trial tests a “master protocol” approach to use MRI (a detailed body scan) to help plan radiation treatment for people with cancer. It may help doctors customize radiation more accurately, depending on your specific cancer type.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT04569006Recruiting
MRI comparison for thick carotid artery plaque
This study uses MRI scans to compare different MRI methods in people who have a thick plaque in the carotid artery (the main artery in the neck). It may help improve how doctors “see” plaque, which could support better risk assessment.
Maastricht, LimburgAges 18 years+ - NCT04588025Recruiting
MRI study using a special model to measure pancreatic cancer response
This study tests a new, harmless “disposable” setup for MRI scans to measure how pancreatic cancer treatments affect the body. It may help doctors get more accurate MRI measurements, so treatment response can be assessed better.
Columbus, OhioAges 19 years+ - NCT04617717Recruiting
Personalized treatment for abnormal heartbeats needing ablation
This trial studies a customized treatment plan for people who have premature ventricular beats (PVCs) and have been referred for a procedure called PVC ablation. It may help doctors choose the best approach for stopping these extra heartbeats.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for mri?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 940 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.
