Fast MRI scan to diagnose gallbladder inflammation
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests whether a new type of quick MRI scan can reliably detect acute cholecystitis—sudden inflammation of the gallbladder. If it works well, doctors may be able to diagnose this condition faster and help patients get treatment sooner.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests a new scoring system (called ACME) to predict how well people with sudden gallbladder inflammation and gallstones will do. It helps doctors make better treatment decisions.
This study compares two ways to treat a gallbladder infection in older adults: surgery or a less invasive procedure using an endoscope and ultrasound. The goal is to see which option leads to better outcomes.
This study tests a quicker MRI screening approach for people with cirrhosis to look for liver cancer early. It may help make liver cancer checkups faster and easier while still finding cancers when they are small.
This trial compares two minimally invasive treatments for people with severe gallbladder inflammation caused by gallstones. It aims to see which approach better helps the immune system and reduces risks for those who are too sick for standard surgery.
This study tests whether doing a second ultrasound a few hours after the first one can help doctors find gallbladder inflammation (cholecystitis) earlier, which could lead to faster treatment.
This trial compares a new ultrasound-guided way to drain the gallbladder using an endoscope versus non-endoscopic treatments. It’s for adults with acute gallbladder inflammation (from stones) who cannot have surgery, aiming to reduce complications and improve recovery.
