Powerful 7T MRI may reveal brain injuries standard scans miss

NCT ID NCT04982562

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether a very powerful 7 Tesla MRI can detect tiny brain injuries in people with post-concussion syndrome after a mild head trauma. Researchers will scan 100 patients one week after their injury and compare the results to standard tests. The goal is to see if this advanced imaging can better diagnose lingering symptoms.

Active substance

7 Tesla MRI scan

What this could lead to

If successful, this could provide a more reliable way to diagnose post-concussion syndrome after mild head injury.

What could go wrong

This is an early-stage study with only 100 participants, and the 7T MRI is not widely available. It may not prove better than standard methods.
