Ultra-High field MRI could sharpen diagnosis of foot injuries
NCT ID NCT04441983
First seen Jul 10, 2026 · Last updated Jul 17, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study explores whether a 7 Tesla MRI scanner can produce clearer images of the foot and ankle than standard MRI. Researchers will scan people with known foot problems—like plantar plate tears or Morton neuroma—and healthy volunteers to see if the higher-powered machine detects these issues more accurately. The goal is to improve diagnosis of complex foot anatomy and injuries.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- 7 Tesla MRI
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could make 7 Tesla MRI a more accurate tool for diagnosing foot and ankle injuries, potentially improving treatment decisions.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early imaging study, not a treatment trial. The new MRI may not prove more useful than current scans, and its availability is limited.
