This study tests whether a 3D MRI scan can accurately measure liver pressure in people with cirrhosis, potentially replacing the current invasive needle test. About 100 adults with confirmed cirrhosis will get both a 3D and 2D MRI, then a standard pressure measurement, to see whi…

This study looks at whether magnetic resonance elastography (MRE), a special type of MRI, can accurately measure liver scarring (fibrosis) in people with chronic hepatitis B. Researchers will compare MRE results to standard liver biopsies in 600 adults. If successful, MRE could o…

This study looks at whether measuring the stiffness and stickiness of brain tumors (gliomas) using a special MRI technique called magnetic resonance elastography can help doctors better understand the tumor's behavior. About 100 adults with glioma will have this scan before surge…

This study tests a new MRI technique that measures how stiff a meningioma brain tumor is before surgery. Researchers want to see if this stiffness matches what surgeons find during the operation and the tumor's cell makeup. About 300 patients will take part, and the goal is to he…

This study tests whether special MRI scans can detect and track diabetic kidney disease without invasive biopsies. Researchers will scan 150 adults with different stages of the disease and follow them for 6 months. The goal is to see if MRI findings match standard blood tests and…

This study is building an artificial intelligence tool that reads CT scans of the lungs to predict which patients with a pulmonary embolism (a blood clot in the lung) are at risk of serious complications like death or needing a breathing machine. Researchers will collect data fro…

This study tests whether a special MRI technique called magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) can measure how stiff and sticky a spinal cord tumor is before surgery. Knowing this could help surgeons plan the best way to remove the tumor. The study will include 20 people who are a…

This study tests whether a special MRI scan can measure kidney scarring (fibrosis) in people with early chronic kidney disease (CKD). Currently, doctors use a needle biopsy to check for scarring, which is invasive and can miss patchy damage. Researchers will scan 200 adults with …
