Eye scans and brain MRI to study health links
Part of Brain & nervous system, Eyes & vision, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at whether patterns in eye images can reveal clues about brain health and overall diseases. By comparing your eye scans with your brain MRI, researchers hope to find new ways to detect systemic conditions early.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have at least one eye image (like a retinal photo or OCT scan) plus a brain MRI from the same person.
- Your eye images must be clear enough for doctors to see key details, and your MRI must be free of movement blur.
- Your medical records need to be fairly complete—less than 30% of key information (like lab tests or questionnaires) can be missing.
- You cannot have severe health problems like advanced cancer, severe heart failure, or end-stage kidney disease.
- You cannot be pregnant, breastfeeding, or have had eye injuries or birth defects that affect your eyes.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study uses detailed eye imaging to look for patterns that may go along with conditions like Alzheimer’s disease, memory problems, multiple sclerosis, or eye/vascular issues. It may help researchers better understand how eye findings relate to health and disease.
This study uses a special eye scan (OCTA) to check the health of tiny blood vessels in the back of the eye. It may help doctors understand small vessel disease in the brain and find easier ways to monitor it.
This trial uses a type of eye scan (OCT) to look at the retina in people with brain conditions like multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, or migraines. It aims to see if these scans can help doctors learn more about the disease and monitor it over time.
This study uses an eye scan called OCTA to look at blood vessels in the retina. It compares people with certain heart or blood vessel conditions (like high blood pressure or diabetes) to healthy volunteers to see if eye changes can help detect heart disease early.
This study uses detailed eye scans to look for changes that might relate to memory problems. You may be able to join if you are being seen for memory concerns and meet the health and eye-scan requirements.
This study uses a special camera to photograph the back of your eye in detail. Researchers believe changes in the eye may reflect brain diseases like Alzheimer's or Parkinson's, and this imaging could help detect these conditions earlier.
