Imaging tests for suspected bone or soft-tissue tumors
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Cancer clinical trials.
This trial studies new imaging methods to better identify and stage (find how far it has spread) suspected bone or soft-tissue tumors. It may help your care team choose the most accurate next steps based on your scans.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a suspected tumor in the bone or in soft tissue
- You are scheduled for imaging to characterize and stage it (initial evaluation)
- You are not pregnant
- You are not breastfeeding
- Your kidneys work well enough for the needed scan process
- You can safely have MRI and/or CT, and have no contraindications
- You have not had surgery or treatment on the tumor area being evaluated

This Phase 2 trial looks at how two test approaches (an MRI-based scan and blood tests) work in people with a larger, grade 2 or 3 soft tissue sarcoma. It may help researchers learn better ways to measure the disease and guide care.
This trial uses MRI scans to create a model that may predict if a musculoskeletal tumor is spreading. It aims to help doctors decide on the best surgical treatment.
This study tests a new way to make MRI scans look like CT scans to find bone damage from multiple myeloma. You may join if you have just been diagnosed or if your disease came back after strong treatments, and you need bone imaging for staging.
This study tests a new MRI-based technique to better see the size and shape of bone sarcomas before surgery. The goal is to help surgeons remove all the cancer while saving as much healthy bone as possible.
This trial studies a way of planning and delivering radiation using MRI pictures to help target tumors more accurately. It may benefit people by improving how radiation is aligned, and it’s being tested for safety and effectiveness compared with the usual CT-based planning.
This trial uses MRI and ultrasound to better understand soft tissue lumps just under the skin. It may help doctors choose the best imaging test for you.
