MRI test to map blood flow in neck arteries
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study checks whether a special MRI scan can measure blood flow in certain neck artery branches. It compares results in different groups (healthy people and people with past neck radiation or procedures) to see how well the scan works.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You can give free and informed consent
- You are in one of these groups: healthy, or had certain neck radiation, or had an embolization procedure, or had a related free flap surgery
- If you had X-ray treatment to the head/neck, it must be at least 50 grays and more than 1 year ago
- If you had free flap surgery, it must be more than 1 month ago
- You must be able to have an MRI scan safely (no MRI-safety problems)
- You cannot be pregnant or breastfeeding

This study tests whether a special type of PET/MRI scan can help doctors see inflammation in the carotid artery after a stroke or mini-stroke. By using a radioactive tracer, the scan may identify which patients have dangerous plaque buildup that could lead to another stroke.
This study uses a special MRI technique to take detailed pictures of the walls of narrowed arteries in the brain or neck. It aims to better understand the plaques that cause the narrowing, which may help guide treatment. If you have moderate to severe narrowing in these arteries, this imaging could provide important information for your care.
This study looks at how dangerous carotid artery narrowing (blood vessels in the neck that supply the brain) might be, using CT and MRI information. It may help doctors better judge stroke risk for people with mild, moderate, or severe narrowing.
This trial tests special MRI scans to find warning signs of cancer that has returned or spread in the head and neck area. It may help doctors see these changes more clearly, which could improve treatment planning.
This study uses a special MRI scan of the nerves in the neck to help doctors better understand how nerves look and work. You may not get any direct benefit from taking part, but your participation could help improve future diagnosis and treatment for patients with nerve problems.
This study uses repeat MRI scans to look for imaging “markers” that may help doctors better understand head and neck squamous cell cancer. It may be most relevant if you are planning curative surgery and/or (chemo)radiotherapy and can safely undergo MRI more than once.
