Faster MRI for brain blood vessel walls
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a faster way to take MRI images of blood vessel walls in the brain. It is for people who already need this type of MRI for their care and aims to make the scan quicker and more comfortable.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You need a vessel wall MRI as part of your regular medical care.
- You do not have any metal devices in your head (like aneurysm clips or coils).
- You have no reason you cannot have an MRI (such as claustrophobia or a non-MRI-safe implant).
- You do not have a large brain tumor or dangerous brain swelling on recent scans.
- You are not 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 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.
This study looks at how brain scans (CT or MRI) relate to symptoms in people with blood vessel problems in the brain. If you've already had a brain scan for medical reasons, you may be able to join.
This trial tests a single CT scan that combines three types of images to look at blood vessels and blood flow in the brain. It may help people with narrowed or blocked arteries, moyamoya disease, aneurysms, or other blood vessel problems in the head and neck.
This study looks at people with brain aneurysms to understand which ones are more likely to cause problems. It uses a special MRI to get detailed images and help predict risk.
