New MRI technique aims to stop breathing and heartbeats from blurring scans
NCT ID NCT05261633
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 02, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a new type of MRI scan that tries to reduce blurring caused by breathing, heartbeats, and other movements in the abdomen. Researchers will compare the new method to standard scans in 80 healthy volunteers and patients with liver metastases. The goal is to see if the new approach produces clearer, more reliable images for detecting cancer and other diseases.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) device
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to clearer, more reliable abdominal MRI scans for detecting and monitoring cancers and organ fibrosis without radiation or contrast dyes.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage imaging study with only 80 participants, so results may not apply to all patients or scanners. The new method may not significantly improve image quality in practice.
