Brain imaging for brain function disorders
Part of Brain & nervous system, Immune system & allergy, Mental health clinical trials.
This study uses a special PET/MR imaging scan to look at how the brain works in people with certain brain disorders. The scan might help doctors understand the condition better and improve treatment.

This trial uses advanced PET and MR scans to better understand and diagnose brain diseases like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, epilepsy, and brain tumors. It may help identify new ways to track these conditions.
This early-stage study tests an imaging medicine ([F-18]DPA-714) that can help researchers see inflammation in the brain and nervous system. It may help doctors better understand how “inflammation signals” differ across conditions like multiple sclerosis, fibromyalgia, and chronic fatigue syndrome.
This study uses a special kind of PET/MRI scan to look at inflammation in the brain and spinal cord. It may help people with conditions like stroke, multiple sclerosis, or other immune-related brain diseases.
This study uses a special PET scan to look at inflammation in the brain of people with Parkinson's disease or those at risk for it. The goal is to better understand the disease and possibly find new ways to track its progression.
This Phase 1 study looks for patterns (correlates) in how “microglial” brain immune cells become activated across different neuropsychiatric conditions and in healthy volunteers. It uses brain imaging to help researchers understand what might drive symptoms and differences between people.
This study uses a special PET brain scan to look at two types of brain immune cells in people with Alzheimer’s. It may help researchers better understand Alzheimer’s and how these cells change over time.
