MRI test to measure soft tissue stiffness
Part of Digestive system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial uses a special type of MRI to estimate how stiff certain soft tissues are in the body. You may benefit by helping doctors better measure tissue stiffness, which can relate to different health problems.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 18 years old or older
- Be safe to have an MRI (have MR-safe status)
- Do not have any metal in your body that is not approved for MRI
- Not be pregnant, and not be trying to become pregnant
- Be able to tolerate the MRI scan even if you feel anxious or uncomfortable in enclosed spaces

This study is testing a new way to take pictures of the heart using MRI. It is looking for healthy volunteers to help make sure the technology works correctly.
This study uses MRI (a scanning test) to develop new ways to measure heart function in both healthy volunteers and people with suspected or known heart disease. It may help researchers create better heart tests that could improve future diagnosis and monitoring.
This trial tests a new wearable patch that uses ultrasound to measure liver stiffness, which can help diagnose scarring. It may be an option if you already need or recently had a FibroScan for chronic liver disease.
This early-phase study uses a special MRI scan to look at the heart in people with heart failure (and related heart changes). It aims to see whether these MRI results can better characterize heart disease and help doctors understand what’s going on.
This trial studies how well different MRI images can assess heart valve problems—like leaking (regurgitation) or narrowing (stenosis). It may help doctors get clearer information, especially in people who may not respond well to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT).
This study uses an MRI scan to better measure muscle loss (sarcopenia) and heart function. It may help researchers find clearer ways to assess these conditions and track changes over time.
