Managing IV lines for CT and MRI scans by technologists
This trial tests whether radiologic technologists can safely place IV lines for contrast dye used in CT and MRI scans. If you are 18 or older and need a contrast-enhanced scan, you may be eligible to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must be scheduled for a CT or MRI scan that uses contrast dye.
- You must be able to give written consent (understand the study and agree to join).
- You must not have a medical condition that makes starting an IV unsafe.

This Phase 4 study looks at how to place a large IV line (called a central line) in the emergency department using ultrasound guidance. It may help patients by improving how safely and effectively these lines are placed, especially in urgent situations.
This trial tests if intermittent practice helps doctors learn to insert a small tube into the wrist artery using ultrasound. It is for training doctors who have not yet done this procedure on their own.
This trial tests new MRI (scanner) software and hardware and checks how safely people can complete the scan. You may qualify if you’re an adult who can do MRI safely and (if contrast is used) have adequate kidney function and no relevant allergy.
This study tests a new imaging camera that uses special dye to help doctors see tumors better during radiation therapy. It may help doctors target cancer more precisely while protecting healthy tissue.
This study compares two ways of placing an IV when it is hard to find a vein in the emergency room: a midline catheter (a longer tube placed deeper in the arm) and an ultrasound-guided IV (using sound waves to find the vein). The goal is to see which method works better for patients like you who have difficult IV access.
This trial tests whether using ultrasound or infrared light makes it easier to place an IV line in people whose veins are hard to see or feel. It compares these methods to the usual way of placing an IV.
