Can a portable MRI see brain lesions as well as big machines?

NCT ID NCT07296263

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

Summary

This study looks at whether a portable MRI machine, combined with a standard contrast dye, can clearly show brain lesions like tumors or infections. About 85 adults with known or suspected brain lesions will get a scan before and after receiving the dye. The goal is to see if portable MRI can provide useful images, which could help patients who can't easily access traditional MRI scanners.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Gadolinium-based contrast agent

What this could lead to

If successful, this could make high-quality brain imaging more accessible using portable MRI machines, especially for patients who cannot use traditional scanners.

What could go wrong

This is an early-stage study focused on image quality, not treatment. The portable MRI has lower magnetic strength than standard machines, so it may not detect all lesions clearly.
