MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING

This study is testing whether a special type of MRI (called bpMRI) can help find prostate cancer earlier in men who are at high risk. The study includes 100 men with slightly elevated PSA levels who are Black, have a family history of prostate cancer, or have certain genetic risk…

This study tests whether acupuncture can reduce pain in people with sickle cell disease. Researchers will use brain scans and other tests to understand how acupuncture works. The study involves 120 participants aged 14 to 80 who have chronic pain or recent pain crises. It aims to…

This study uses a new type of MRI scan (T1rho) to measure brain tissue in healthy adults. The goal is to understand what normal brain scans look like. No drugs or treatments are given. 30 healthy volunteers aged 18 and older will participate.

This study uses a powerful 7 Tesla MRI scanner to take detailed pictures of the spine and nerves in the neck. Researchers want to measure normal nerve sizes and see how they relate to nearby blood vessels. The goal is to create a reference standard for healthy spine anatomy. Abou…

This study enrolls 500 people with brain small vessel disease (CSVD) to see how genetics influence their condition. Participants get genetic testing for five key genes and are followed for at least two years. The goal is to track strokes and dementia, not to test a new treatment.

This study looks at whether a special MRI can help monitor heart transplant patients without the need for frequent, invasive biopsies. Researchers will follow 247 adults who have had a heart transplant to see if MRI scans can detect early signs of rejection or other complications…

This study is about making MRI scans better for research. Researchers will test and improve how the MRI machine takes pictures of the brain, focusing on reducing blurry spots called artifacts. About 230 healthy adults aged 18 and older will participate. The goal is to help future…

This study looks at how well pelvic organs move in women with endometriosis using dynamic MRI. Researchers want to see if measuring organ movement can help diagnose the disease better and explain why some treatments don't work. About 52 women with suspected endometriosis will tak…

This study looks at why a single low dose of ketamine helps some people with hard-to-treat depression more than others. Researchers will use brain scans to measure brain chemical changes in 60 adults with depression, comparing those with and without a family history of alcohol us…

This study aims to develop better MRI methods for looking at the brain's structure and activity. Healthy adults aged 18 and older will have yearly MRI scans, sometimes while doing simple tasks like listening or tapping fingers. The goal is to improve imaging technology, not to tr…

This study is testing a special MRI scan called 3D magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) to measure how stiff pancreatic tumors and surrounding scar tissue are. The goal is to see if these stiffness measurements can help predict how the cancer will respond to chemotherapy and how…

This study tests whether a decision support tool helps high-risk Black and Latina women make informed choices about breast MRI screening. 80 women will be randomly assigned to receive either enhanced usual care or the decision support tool. The goal is to see if the tool improves…

This study is testing a new, very powerful 7-Tesla MRI scanner to see if it can take clearer pictures of the human body, focusing on muscles, bones, and the head. About 780 people will join, some with specific conditions like injuries or tumors. The goal is to find out where this…

This study looks at whether using an MRI scan before each radiation treatment is practical and helpful for people with liver or pancreatic cancer. About 30 adults will get up to 5 extra MRIs during their standard radiation course. Researchers will measure patient comfort and anxi…

This study looks at how brain blood flow changes when healthy adults aged 55-69 shift from lying to standing and when they breathe extra carbon dioxide. Using MRI scans, researchers will measure blood flow and velocity. The goal is to better understand normal brain blood flow, no…

This study uses MRI to measure how brain blood flow changes when healthy adults (ages 20-40) shift posture or breathe extra carbon dioxide. The goal is to understand normal brain blood flow regulation, not to treat any disease. Results may help future research on conditions like …
