This study explores whether a magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) scan of the thigh can predict a patient's fitness for major cancer surgery, as an alternative to the standard cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET). Researchers will compare fat levels in thigh muscles from the MR…

This pilot study tests a procedure called trans-radial superior rectal artery embolisation for treating hemorrhoids. Instead of surgery, doctors access an artery in the wrist to block blood flow to the hemorrhoid, which may reduce bleeding and pain. The study will enroll 20 adult…

This pilot study tests whether using a dye called indocyanine green to highlight the ureters during endometriosis surgery causes less pain and fewer side effects than the standard method of placing temporary plastic stents. The trial will recruit 70 women aged 18–50 who are sched…

This study will map the location of small blood vessels in the chest wall using bony and soft tissue landmarks. The goal is to help surgeons perform partial breast reconstruction more precisely after breast cancer surgery. The study will involve 20 women undergoing elective breas…

This study aims to see if specially trained radiographers can make decisions about prostate MRI scans as well as radiologists. The goal is to reduce the need for contrast injections and extra scans, making care faster and more efficient. The study will involve 1600 patients and c…

This study looks at how the size and type of rotator cuff tear affects the suprascapular nerve in the shoulder. Researchers will use MRI scans and nerve tests on 250 adults to see which tears cause nerve damage. They also want to find out if surgical repair can help the nerve rec…
