Recruiting studies
- 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+ - NCT03586518Recruiting
Non-contrast heart MRI test in dialysis patients
This trial checks whether a new kind of heart MRI (done without contrast dye) can help doctors see heart changes in people receiving hemodialysis. It may help improve how heart health is measured in dialysis care, especially for people with limited time.
Leicester, LeicestershireAges 18 years+ - NCT03657693Recruiting
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 - 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+ - NCT03720522Recruiting
Study brain-heart signals in acute stroke using MRI
This study looks at how the brain and heart interact right after an acute ischemic stroke. It may help doctors better understand what happens in the first hours of stroke and improve monitoring or future treatments.
Bern, Canton of BernAges 18–86 - 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+ - NCT03819751Recruiting
MRI-guided prostate biopsy: software vs visual matching
This study compares two ways of using prostate MRI images to guide a biopsy and check how accurately prostate cancer can be found. If you have MRI spots that may be cancer, the trial will help test whether computer software or a visual method works better.
Leuven, Vlaams-brabantAges 50–75 - NCT03959163Recruiting
Quick kidney MRI test in children with kidney infection
This study checks whether a fast kidney MRI (“Quick MRI”) can help doctors in children who are being evaluated for kidney infection (pyelonephritis). It may help confirm kidney involvement without relying only on slower or more complex tests.
Madison, WisconsinAges birth–21 years - NCT07702708Recruiting
AI predicts chemotherapy response in HR+/HER2- breast cancer
This trial uses AI to analyze your pre-treatment MRI and predict how well your tumor will respond to chemotherapy before surgery. It is for people with HR+/HER2- breast cancer who need chemo before their operation.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18 years+ - NCT04103372Recruiting
MRI check for early rectal cancer or large polyps
This trial uses a special MRI before treatment to better understand early rectal cancer or suspicious large polyps. It may help doctors choose care that avoids bigger surgery when possible.
Reading, BerkshireAges 16–100 - 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+ - 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.
Paris, PARISAges 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 - NCT04570943RecruitingPhase 2
Pancreatic cancer treatment: chemo first, then targeted MRI-guided radiation
This Phase 2 trial tests giving specific chemotherapy in sequence, then using MRI-guided focused radiation to treat locally advanced, non-removable pancreatic cancer. It may help shrink or control the tumor while aiming radiation more precisely using MRI.
Marseille, Bouches-du-RhôneAges 18–75 - NCT04613349Recruiting
MRI before first parotid tumor surgery
This study tests whether a special MRI scan (with a contrast dye) can help doctors better plan surgery for tumors in the salivary gland near the facial nerve. It may help surgical planning while avoiding unnecessary repeat imaging.
Paris, PARISAges 18 years+ - 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+ - 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+ - NCT04749134Recruiting
MRI tests to improve radiotherapy planning using healthy volunteers
This study uses MRI scans to help improve how radiotherapy is planned and delivered. You would be an adult volunteer without a patient diagnosis, and your scan may be checked for unexpected (incidental) findings.
ManchesterAges 16 years+ - 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+ - NCT04833335Recruiting
MRI scans to tell tumor spread from radiation injury
This trial studies how a special MRI can help doctors tell whether brain lesions after Gamma Knife treatment are growing tumors or radiation injury. It may help you avoid unnecessary treatment if the findings suggest radionecrosis instead of progression.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT04848636Recruiting
Sodium MRI scan to study heart salt changes in kidney disease
This trial uses a special MRI scan (called sodium MRI) to measure salt (sodium) in the heart. It compares people with chronic kidney disease (including those on hemodialysis) to healthy volunteers to understand how kidney disease may affect the heart.
London, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT04856059Recruiting
MRI study for early heart changes in Fabry disease
This study looks at early structural and tissue changes in the heart using a special type of MRI scan in adults with Fabry disease. It may help doctors understand changes earlier and better track heart involvement over time.
Toronto, OntarioAges 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+ - NCT04906928Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for mri?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 939 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.
