New Haven, ConnecticutAges 21–75 - NCT05303415Recruiting
Low-intensity ultrasound study during brain MRI
This study tests how low-power focused ultrasound changes brain signals measured during MRI. You may help researchers understand how ultrasound can affect brain activity, even if you don’t have a known brain condition.
Roanoke, VirginiaAges 18–65 - NCT05147103Enrolling by invitation
Checking how long low-intensity ultrasound lasts
This study looks at how long a low-intensity focused ultrasound treatment effect lasts. It may help researchers plan safer, more effective use of this technology in future studies.
Roanoke, VirginiaAges 18–65 - NCT05095714Recruiting
Fast MRI for close monitoring of high-risk liver cancer
This trial studies a faster MRI scan to help track early liver cancer in people who have cirrhosis and are considered high risk. It may improve how often and how well doctors can look for changes without using longer imaging sessions.
BondyAges 18 years+ - NCT04692818Recruiting
3D ultrasound imaging for women with a breast lump
This study tests how well a new 3D ultrasound method can “see” a solid breast lump that is being biopsied. It may help doctors get clearer images to guide diagnosis, especially alongside a standard biopsy.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT04582279Recruiting
Lung ultrasound test to rule out rejection after lung transplant
This study checks whether a painless lung ultrasound can help tell when rejection is unlikely after a lung transplant. If it works, it could reduce the need for other tests in people who feel well.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT04501419Recruiting
Mobile ultrasound test to help diagnose breast cancer
This study checks whether a tablet-based ultrasound can find breast lumps that look suspicious for cancer. If it works well, it could help diagnose breast cancer faster in Nigeria where patients may need a biopsy or surgery next.
Ile-IfeAges 18 years+ - NCT04399941Recruiting
Ultrasound inside the blood vessel for dialysis access issues
This trial tests a special type of ultrasound placed inside a blood vessel to better understand problems with dialysis access. It may help doctors find the cause of access malfunction during your diagnostic fistulogram.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–85 - NCT04239573Recruiting
Compare pancreatic cyst checkup programs and test markers
This study compares different ways to monitor pancreatic cysts and also measures blood or other test markers to see which approach is more helpful. It may help patients by finding the safest, most effective way to track certain cysts that could otherwise be hard to manage.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 50–75 - NCT04251052Recruiting
Compare two surgeries to lower ovarian cancer risk in BRCA1 carriers
This study compares two risk-reducing surgery plans for people with a BRCA1 genetic change to see which approach helps lower ovarian cancer risk. You may be asked to have the study procedure sooner or later depending on your chosen plan.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 35–50 - NCT04063514Enrolling by invitation
MRI-focused ultrasound study of blood-brain barrier in low-grade glioma
This study uses special imaging during routine MRI scans to check how well the blood-brain barrier lets substances pass in people with low-grade brain tumors. It may help researchers better measure and track treatment effects over time.
