Brain scan study using a PET tracer
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests how a special PET scan tracer behaves in your brain. It may help researchers better understand brain activity and improve imaging for future studies.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You can read, understand, and sign consent paperwork to join
- You are between 18 and 65 years old
- You can safely have MRI (no metal in your body that would make scanning unsafe)
- You do not have severe claustrophobia (fear of enclosed spaces)
- You completed at least 12 years of education

This early-phase study uses brain scans to study cannabis use disorder and looks at whether a treatment approach is suitable for people who use cannabis every day. It may help researchers understand brain changes related to quitting and recovery.
This study uses brain imaging to understand how thinking works in people who use cannabis, comparing those with psychosis to people without psychosis. It may help researchers learn what brain patterns relate to thinking difficulties and how cannabis use fits in.
This study uses a special PET brain scan to look at two types of brain immune cells in people with Alzheimer’s. It may help researchers better understand Alzheimer’s and how these cells change over time.
This study uses a special brain scan (PET) to measure cannabinoid receptors—areas in the brain that interact with cannabis-like chemicals. It may help researchers better understand how these receptors relate to conditions such as schizophrenia, PTSD, opioid use disorder, or early psychosis risk.
This early-phase study tests a PET scan tracer called SV2A in adults age 50 and older. It aims to help researchers understand how the tracer works in the brain/body, which could support future diagnostic or treatment research.
This study uses a new PET scan tracer called [11C]SY08 to take pictures of the brain in people with Parkinson's, multiple system atrophy, or dementia with Lewy bodies. It aims to see if this tracer can help better understand and tell apart these conditions.
