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.
Who can take part
- You are at least 18 years old

- You can understand and sign an informed consent form
- You can lie flat on your back and follow breathing instructions during the MRI scan
- You do not have an implanted pacemaker or metal devices that would make an MRI unsafe

This study tests whether a scoring system called ACME can accurately identify patients with acute cholecystitis (sudden gallbladder inflammation). It aims to improve how this condition is diagnosed and managed, potentially leading to 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 whether using a green dye during emergency gallbladder removal helps surgeons see the bile ducts more clearly, which may reduce complications. If you are having urgent gallbladder surgery, this could make your operation safer.
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 study is testing a faster MRI technique for children with abdominal pain. It uses artificial intelligence to make the MRI quicker, which may be more comfortable for the child while still giving clear images of the abdomen.
This study compares different ways to manage sudden gallbladder inflammation (cholecystitis) in patients who are moderately or severely ill, to see which treatments lead to better recovery. It helps doctors learn the best approach for your situation.
