Brain nocardiosis imaging changes over treatment
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study reviews medical images from patients with brain nocardiosis to see how lesions change during treatment. It may help doctors understand the best way to monitor this rare infection.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You were diagnosed with brain nocardiosis, confirmed by a lab test
- You have had at least one MRI or CT scan of your brain
- You had brain imaging within 2 weeks of diagnosis
- You had follow-up imaging later during treatment, especially if you had multiple scans
- You are willing to let researchers review your medical images

This study looks at how a specific kind of MRI picture (called the CEST sequence) can help characterize radiation-related brain injury and changes in brain metastases from lung cancer. It may help doctors better interpret follow-up scans after radiation, without changing your cancer treatment.
This study uses a special MRI scan while you rest to look for brain and eye signals that may relate to recovery in people with suspected optic neuritis. If you’re eligible, it may help researchers better understand what predicts vision improvement.
This study follows patients who have been treated for neurocysticercosis—a brain infection caused by a parasite—to learn how they recover over time and what long-term effects they experience. By joining, you'll help doctors better understand this condition and improve care for future patients.
This study is testing a new, portable MRI machine that can be used right at your bedside. It aims to see if it can take clear pictures of the brain for people with strokes, brain conditions, or symptoms of a brain problem.
This study adds special brain “biomarker” tests into routine visits for adults with brain tumors. It may help the clinic better track these cancers over time and tailor care.
This study looks at how infections or inflammation involving the brain and spinal cord work, using patient data and samples. It may help researchers better understand these illnesses and improve future care.
