Testing portable MRI with contrast dye for brain lesions
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This trial tests a new portable MRI machine that uses a standard contrast dye (gadolinium) to better see brain lesions like tumors or infections. It may help people who need an MRI but cannot easily get to a traditional scanner.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older.
- You have a known brain lesion (like a tumor, infection, or inflammation) that causes the blood-brain barrier to break down.
- Your doctor has cleared you for a portable MRI and for getting a gadolinium contrast dye injection.
- You have a vein in your arm or hand that can be used for the contrast injection.
- You do not have any metal clips or devices in your brain or eye.
- You do not have severe kidney disease or a history of an allergic reaction to gadolinium contrast.

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 trial uses a new type of MRI contrast dye (USPIO) to get clearer images of certain slow-growing brain tumors (vestibular schwannomas and low-grade gliomas). The goal is to see if this dye helps doctors better understand and treat these tumors.
This trial uses special imaging to tell the difference between real brain tumor growth and a treatment reaction that looks like a tumor. It may help you and your doctor decide if a biopsy is needed.
This trial tests whether two special MRI contrast medicines—gadolinium and ferumoxytol—can better diagnose problems in the brain or central nervous system. It may help doctors identify what’s causing symptoms or abnormal brain findings.
This trial is testing a new, portable MRI machine that only scans your head. It may be easier and more comfortable than a standard MRI.
This study uses two special types of MRI scans to better understand how far a high-grade brain tumor (aggressive brain cancer) has spread into surrounding brain tissue. The goal is to help doctors plan surgery or biopsy more precisely.
