MRI testing of different scan methods in older adults
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests different MRI imaging techniques to improve how scans look and measure targets. You may be able to join with or without a contrast dye, and you’ll need to travel to the NIH for follow-up visits.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age 18+ and able to understand and sign consent
- If you plan to get contrast dye: kidney blood tests must be normal (eGFR 60 or higher) within about a week of contrast
- You must be willing and able to travel to the NIH for follow-up visits
- No gadolinium (MRI contrast) under this study in the last 6 months
- You must be able to lie flat for the scan and meet size limits (over 500 lbs and/or too large for the scanner is not allowed)

This study tests new or improved heart imaging methods to understand whether people have heart-related blood vessel disease. It may help by comparing scan results to your health history and other testing to better spot heart problems earlier.
This research study tests new ways to take detailed pictures of your brain using MRI (a safe imaging machine). You'll help researchers develop better imaging methods by lying still in the scanner for up to 2 hours.
This study tests how to take and analyze MRI scans in a safer, more useful way. If you can have an MRI comfortably and safely, your scans may help improve imaging methods for future patients.
This study tests and improves the equipment and computer settings used for ultrasound and MRI scans. It may help make these scans clearer and more reliable in the future for people who need them.
This is a study that tests new ways to use MRI (a body scan that uses magnets) using healthy volunteers. It helps researchers improve scanning methods, which may make future scans safer or clearer.
This study tests a special MRI method that uses lower energy exposure. It aims to improve how well researchers can scan the heart and other organs while keeping the scan as safe and comfortable as possible.
