MRI test to detect internal scar bands in the belly
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial checks whether an MRI scan can spot “adhesions,” which are internal scar bands that can form after open belly surgery. If you’ve had abdominal surgery with a scar, this may help see whether MRI can identify these adhesions without invasive testing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had previous open surgery on your belly, leaving a scar at least 10 cm long
- Your scar is in the middle portion of your abdomen (a “median” scar)
- You can read and sign a written consent form
- You must be able to have an MRI scan (MRI is allowed for you)
- You do not have severe claustrophobia (extreme fear in small enclosed spaces)

This trial tests whether an MRI can replace the usual CT scan to measure the size of your pelvis before a planned C-section. It aims to avoid radiation exposure during pregnancy.
This trial uses AI to improve MRI scans for detecting intestinal fibrosis (scarring) in people with Crohn's disease who are scheduled for surgery. It aims to help doctors better identify and treat scarring.
This study is testing a new imaging method that uses a special PET/MR scan to see how active Crohn's disease is in your bowel. The scan uses a harmless radioactive tracer that attaches to scar tissue, which may help doctors better understand the disease and guide treatment.
This study uses a special imaging tracer (FAPI) to find scar tissue in the small intestine of people with Crohn's disease. The goal is to see if this scan can help doctors better understand which parts of the intestine are scarred, which may guide treatment decisions.
This study looks at an MRI-type scan (called MRE) to measure stiffness and “adhesion” around spinal cord tumor surgery. It may help doctors plan surgery better by predicting what the tumor area will feel like and how it may stick to nearby tissues.
This study uses extra detailed MRI scans before and/or around planned abdominal surgery to help researchers understand changes in the body. It includes people having surgery for certain cancers and some people having surgery for non-cancer (benign) conditions.
