PET/MR scan for brain function disorders
Part of Brain & nervous system, Immune system & allergy, Mental health clinical trials.
This study uses a special PET/MR scan to look at inflammation in the brain. It may help people with certain brain conditions like memory loss, movement problems, or autoimmune encephalitis find better treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 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 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 study uses special brain scans to measure proteins and connections in the brain after a recent injury, stroke, or in people with mild memory/behavior changes. The goal is to understand brain changes and how they relate to symptoms, which may help future diagnosis and treatment.
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.
This trial uses a special PET scan (with a tracer called [18F]-DPA-714) to see if it can measure inflammation in the brain caused by autoimmune encephalitis. The goal is to see if this scan can help doctors diagnose and monitor the condition more accurately.
