Low-field MRI for rapid stroke diagnosis
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a portable, low-field MRI machine to see if it can help quickly diagnose strokes at the bedside. It could help people get faster and more accurate stroke care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have had stroke-like symptoms that started within the last 24 hours.
- You must be able to give consent, or have a family member or proxy who can.
- You must be medically stable enough to undergo an MRI scan.
- You cannot have certain metal implants, like a cochlear implant.
- Your symptoms must not be from other causes like fainting, dizziness alone, or confusion alone.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests how using MRI can help doctors diagnose acute stroke faster in the emergency room. It may lead to quicker treatment and better outcomes for stroke patients.
This trial tests whether a magnetic field can help clear blocked brain arteries in people who have had an ischemic stroke (a stroke from a blocked blood vessel) within the last 24 hours. The treatment is given through a special device that uses magnets to help dissolve or remove the blockage, potentially restoring blood flow and improving recovery.
This trial tests a dedicated emergency stroke unit that provides fast, coordinated care for people with acute ischemic stroke. If you qualify, you may receive clot-busting medication or clot-removal treatment quickly to help reduce brain damage and improve recovery.
This study looks at whether a low-dose whole-body imaging scan soon after a stroke or TIA (sometimes called a “mini-stroke”) can help doctors evaluate you. It also includes long follow-up to see how patients do over time.
This study uses brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans to look at changes in the brain after a stroke. It may help researchers better understand what happens in the brain over time and improve future care.
This study measures blood flow in small areas of the brain to see if it can help detect cerebrovascular disease. It includes people recovering from a stroke and healthy volunteers, and may help improve future diagnosis.
