PET/MRI scan with a small injected tracer
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests a new brain PET “insert” that can work at the same time as MRI to create brain images. If you’re healthy and can receive an approved injected tracer (FDG or Neuraceq), you may be able to help confirm the device works safely and clearly.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’ve had less than 5,000 mrem of radiation in the past year
- You are at least 21 years old
- You can and agree to have a tracer injected (6–12 mCi of FDG or Neuraceq)
- You can sign written consent after understanding the study
- You have no known allergy to the injected imaging tracer
- You do not have metal implants that would be unsafe for MRI

This study uses a special PET/MR scan to look at inflammation in the brain. It may help people with certain brain conditions like memory loss, movement problems, or autoimmune encephalitis find better treatments.
This study tests a new way to take brain imaging scans (PET scans) using a very small amount of radioactive tracer. Researchers want to see if they can get clear pictures of your brain while reducing your radiation exposure compared to standard scans.
This Phase 1 study tests a special tracer used during MRI and PET scans to look at brain changes in people with multiple sclerosis. It’s mainly aimed at improving how these scans can detect disease-related changes and confirming the tracer works safely.
This study uses a special PET/MRI scan with an amino acid tracer to better see if brain tumors (either starting in the brain or spreading from elsewhere) have come back after treatment. The scan may help doctors tell the difference between tumor growth and treatment-related changes.
This study uses special brain scans to measure proteins and connections in the brain after a recent injury, stroke, or in people with mild memory/behavior changes. The goal is to understand brain changes and how they relate to symptoms, which may help future diagnosis and treatment.
This study tests a new, more comfortable head-only PET scanner that may be easier for patients to use. You can join if you are already getting a routine brain PET scan.
