MRI study to predict jaw injury after radiation therapy
Part of Cancer, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study uses special MRI scans before and after radiation therapy to see if they can predict damage to your jawbone. If you are getting radiation to the head or neck area, this study may help monitor side effects.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have a cancer diagnosis confirmed by a biopsy.
- You are scheduled to receive radiation therapy aimed at curing the cancer (with or without chemotherapy).
- You are willing to attend all study visits and follow procedures.
- Your radiation plan puts parts of your jawbone at higher risk of damage (based on specific dose measurements).
- You can safely have an MRI (no metal implants, no severe claustrophobia, and good kidney function).

This study uses special MRI scans with contrast to better detect osteoradionecrosis (jaw bone injury) after radiation for head and neck cancer. If you qualify, the scans may help your team diagnose problems earlier and choose the right next treatment.
This trial uses repeated MRI scans to better predict which patients may develop painful jaw and mouth tissue problems after radiation and/or certain bone or blood-vessel medicines. It may help clinicians spot problems earlier and tailor follow-up care.
This study uses MRI scans to check for damage to the parotid gland (a saliva gland near the ear) caused by radiation therapy for nasopharyngeal cancer. The goal is to help doctors better protect this gland and improve quality of life during and after treatment.
This study looks at people who had radiation therapy for oral cavity (mouth) cancer to find out why some develop a serious side effect called osteoradionecrosis (when the jaw bone doesn't heal and dies). They will review medical records to identify risk factors, which may help doctors better protect patients’ jaw health during and after radiation.
This study uses MRI instead of CT or X-ray to look at injuries to teeth, mouth, and face. It might help find a safer way to image your injury without radiation.
This study tests whether a special dental MRI can give useful pictures to diagnose jaw joint problems, tooth-related tissue changes, and gum/inflammation issues, and to help plan some dental implant treatments. If you need imaging for these reasons, the trial may help doctors choose the best next treatment by using clearer, dedicated scans.
