- NCT03514524Enrolling by invitation
PET-MRI brain scans for recent injury, stroke, or mild memory changes
This study uses special brain scans to measure proteins and connections in the brain after a recent injury, stroke, or in people with mild memory/behavior changes. The goal is to understand brain changes and how they relate to symptoms, which may help future diagnosis and treatment.
LeuvenAges 18–80 - NCT07147309Recruiting
PET scans for epilepsy surgery planning
This trial tests three types of PET scans to help doctors exactly locate the part of the brain causing seizures before surgery. It's for people with epilepsy that isn't controlled by medication and who are already planning surgery or an SEEG.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18–50 - NCT07130409Recruiting
Heart imaging after emergency angioplasty for first heart attack
This study uses advanced heart scans (MRI) before and after a common artery-opening procedure to see how the heart heals. It only includes people having their first heart attack who get emergency treatment with a stent.
Qingdao, ShandongAges 18–80 - NCT03684655RecruitingPhase 2
PET-MR scan study of immune activity in people with HIV
This Phase 2 study uses a special whole-body scan (PET-MR) to measure immune activity in people living with HIV. It may help researchers understand how well the immune system responds and how to better track HIV-related inflammation.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04038840RecruitingPhase 1
Brain PET-MR imaging to study schizophrenia connections
This early (Phase 1) study uses a special brain scan to look at synapses—the contact points between brain cells—in people with schizophrenia-related conditions. It helps researchers understand brain activity and connection patterns, which may guide future tests or treatments.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18–65 - NCT05582876Recruiting
PET/MR scan to plan personalized prostate cancer treatment
This study uses a special scan called PET/MR with a prostate-focused tracer to help doctors choose the best next treatment for prostate cancer. It may be most helpful if you are planning major treatment or if your cancer has come back after prior treatment.
BialystokAges 18–99 - NCT05681858Recruiting
Testing heart inflammation and reduced blood flow in MINOCA
This study looks at why some people have chest pain and heart injury signs, but their heart arteries are not blocked. It tests scans of blood flow and heart tissue to better understand the cause and guide care.
BergenAges 18 years+ - NCT05838547Recruiting
PET-MR scan study for narrowing in the carotid artery
This study tests how well a special PET-MR scan can help evaluate carotid artery plaque in people who have significant narrowing but no symptoms. It may help researchers better understand disease activity to guide treatment decisions like medication alone or medication plus surgery.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06059690RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Imaging brain tumors to guide glioblastoma treatment
This trial studies a special imaging scan that combines MRI and PET to find active tumor areas in patients with glioblastoma. It aims to see if the scan can help identify the most aggressive parts of the tumor for surgery.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06236048Recruiting
Brain energy and glutamate in schizophrenia
This study uses brain scans (MRI and PET) to look at energy use and a brain chemical called glutamate in people with schizophrenia. It compares healthy volunteers to those with well-controlled schizophrenia and those with hard-to-treat schizophrenia to understand the biology better.
LondonAges 18–65 - NCT06409585Recruiting
Heart muscle disease imaging study for scarring
This study uses advanced imaging (PET/MR or PET/CT) to look at scarring (fibrosis) in the heart muscle. It is for people with various heart muscle diseases, including heart failure with preserved pumping, thickened heart muscle, high blood pressure-related heart damage, heart inflammation, and others.
Edinburgh, ScotlandAges 30–90 - NCT07004673Recruiting
PET/MR imaging for carotid artery plaque risk
This trial uses special PET/MR scans to look at fatty buildup in your neck arteries to see which ones might be dangerous. It could help doctors better understand your stroke risk and choose the right treatment.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT07568613Recruiting
PSMA PET/CT versus MRI for mapping prostate cancer
This trial compares two imaging techniques—PSMA PET/CT and MRI—to see which one better finds and outlines prostate cancer tumors. You'll receive both scans to help doctors understand which method works best for newly diagnosed prostate cancer.
LimassolAges 18 years+ - NCT01542879RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
MR scan for cancer staging without radiation in children and adults
This study tests a radiation-free whole-body MRI method to help doctors stage (find and measure) certain cancers. It may reduce radiation exposure compared with scans that use X-rays or radioactive tracers, while still checking how far cancer has spread.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 6–40 - NCT06865768RecruitingPhase 2
New PET-MRI scan for better prostate biopsy guidance
This trial tests a new imaging scan that combines a special PET tracer with MRI to help guide a prostate biopsy. The goal is to see if this scan can more accurately find cancer and reduce the need for extra biopsies.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05614310Recruiting
Brain scan study to spot early Alzheimer’s
This study uses MRI brain scans and memory tests to help detect early Alzheimer’s disease. It compares people with Alzheimer’s (diagnosed by a clinician) with people without memory problems to see which scan and test results stand out.
AberdeenAges 18 years+ - NCT06508567Recruiting
MRI-Guided Internal Radiation for Returning Prostate Cancer
This trial tests a new way to use a type of internal radiation (high-dose-rate brachytherapy) guided by MRI to treat prostate cancer that has come back in the same area after previous radiation therapy. It is designed to be more precise and hopefully safer while using the latest PSMA PET scans to make sure the cancer hasn't spread.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for pet / mr?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 17 recruiting pet / mr 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 pet / mr 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 pet / mr 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.
