MR scan for cancer staging without radiation in children and adults
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a solid cancer outside the brain, such as lymphoma or sarcoma
- You are scheduled for, or already completed, an 18F-FDG PET or PET/CT staging scan
- You can have an MRI scan (no metal implants that make MRI unsafe)
- You do not need sedation/anesthesia for the scan and you can tolerate being in the MRI scanner
- You are not pregnant (and the fetus is not included)
Quick eligibility check

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether a newer type of MRI scan (called whole-body DWI) can work as well as a standard PET/CT scan (called FDG PET) for finding and monitoring cancer that has spread. If you have metastatic cancer and already have a scheduled PET/CT or other scan, you may be able to get both scans done, helping researchers compare the two methods.
This early-phase study tests whether a special MRI scan with injected labeled “pyruvate” can act as a biomarker (a measurable sign) for advanced solid tumor activity. It may help doctors see tumor metabolism over time and better track how treatment is affecting cancer.
This trial tests whether two special MRI contrast medicines—gadolinium and ferumoxytol—can better diagnose problems in the brain or central nervous system. It may help doctors identify what’s causing symptoms or abnormal brain findings.
This study tests a new, fast, and quiet AI-powered PET/MR scanner to take detailed pictures of children with suspected cancer. It aims to make the imaging experience easier and more comfortable for kids.
This study uses special PET/MR imaging before and after radiation treatment to better understand how radiation may affect the heart and lungs. It may help researchers find ways to predict and monitor these side effects using imaging and blood tests.
This study tests a new type of PET scan (a special imaging test) called 18F-FGIn to help doctors better detect and evaluate cancers. It may be more accurate than the standard PET scan for certain tumors like brain, liver, stomach, and colon cancers.
