Using MRI to tell apart different bone marrow lesions
Part of Blood & lymphatic clinical trials.
This study uses a special type of MRI (diffusion MRI) to help doctors better tell apart different kinds of bone marrow problems in the spine. It may help get a clearer diagnosis without needing more invasive tests.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult (18 or older)
- You have a suspected or known bone marrow lesion in your spine (seen on X-ray or CT scan)
- You do not have any metal implant that is not safe for MRI
- You have not had spine surgery before
- You do not have a congenital (from birth) spine issue
- You are not afraid of tight spaces (claustrophobia) and are willing to have an MRI

This study tests a new type of MRI scan (called TDDMRI) that looks at tiny details in prostate tissue to better detect cancer. If you are already getting a prostate MRI, this extra scan may help doctors find cancer more accurately.
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 is testing a new MRI technique called BoneMRI that may show bones more clearly than standard MRI. If you already need both a CT and an MRI of your spine, your scans could be used to compare this new method with the regular ones.
This study uses a special type of MRI called diffusion-weighted imaging to help diagnose breast cancer and check on it after treatment. It is for women who have a breast lump or whose breast cancer has returned after chemotherapy or radiation.
This study uses a special MRI technique to look at the health of the spinal cord in healthy people and in patients whose cancer has spread to the lining around the brain and spinal cord (called leptomeningeal disease, or LMD). It aims to establish new ways to monitor spinal cord health.
This trial studies whether a special type of MRI can find brain white matter changes early. It might help people who have early symptoms or are at risk for diseases affecting the brain's wiring.
