Testing faster brain MRI scans for blood vessel walls
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a faster way to do MRI scans of the blood vessel walls in the brain. If you're already getting a brain MRI, this newer technique might make the scan quicker and more comfortable.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must be scheduled for a brain MRI as part of your regular care.
- You must not have any metal implants in your head, like aneurysm clips or coils.
- You must be able to have an MRI (no pacemakers, shrapnel, or severe claustrophobia).
- You must not have a very large brain lesion or significant brain swelling, and no life-threatening health conditions.
- You must not be pregnant or breastfeeding.

This trial helps develop and fine-tune MRI scans that look at the heart and blood vessels. It may help people with heart-related symptoms or conditions by improving how MRI images are created and interpreted.
This study builds a brain imaging biobank for people with “small blood vessel disease” seen on MRI. Your MRI results can help researchers better understand these changes and track new events over time.
This study looks at brain scans (CT or MRI) from people with blood vessel problems in the brain. It aims to better understand how these scans relate to symptoms, which may help improve diagnosis and care.
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 tests a single CT scan that combines three types of imaging to look at blood vessels and blood flow in the brain. It may help doctors better understand conditions like stroke, narrowed vessels, or aneurysms without needing multiple scans.
This study investigates the build-up of fatty deposits called plaques in arteries of the brain and neck using two different strengths of MRI scanners. It aims to understand how well these MRI techniques can image the plaques, which could help doctors better diagnose and manage stroke risk.
