MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING

This study aims to improve the diagnosis of endometriosis by using a special type of MRI scan that measures how much pelvic organs move when a woman pushes. Researchers will scan 52 women with suspected endometriosis to see if reduced organ mobility is linked to common symptoms l…

This study is testing whether adding MRI scans to standard PSA blood tests can improve prostate cancer detection in high-risk men. Researchers are enrolling 100 men aged 40-55 who have higher-than-average risk factors but normal PSA levels. Participants will receive MRI scans and…

This study is testing whether acupuncture can help manage the chronic pain that often comes with sickle cell disease. Researchers will compare traditional needle acupuncture to a needle-free laser version in about 120 participants. They will also use brain scans and other tests t…

This study is testing a new, more powerful type of MRI scanner to see if it can take clearer pictures of bones, joints, muscles, and the brain. Researchers will compare images from the new 7T scanner to those from standard 3T scanners. The goal is to understand where this stronge…

This study is testing a decision support tool to help high-risk Black and Latina women make informed choices about whether to add a breast MRI to their annual mammogram. Researchers will compare the tool against standard care in 80 participants. The goal is to see if the tool imp…

This study aims to understand how the brain regulates its blood supply in healthy older adults. Researchers will use MRI scans to measure blood flow while participants perform breathing exercises and simulated posture changes. The goal is to learn why some people experience faste…

This study aims to test and improve the settings for MRI scans on a machine used only for research. Healthy volunteers and some patients will have scans to help researchers find the best settings for clear, high-quality brain images. The goal is to create better tools for future …

This study aims to better understand different types of small vessel brain diseases, which can lead to stroke or dementia. Researchers will use brain scans and genetic testing on 500 participants to see if they can identify patterns that predict who might develop these serious pr…

This study aims to create detailed reference maps of the normal anatomy of the neck (cervical) spine. Researchers will use a very powerful 7 Tesla MRI scanner to take highly detailed pictures of the spine in 600 adults, including people with long-term back pain and healthy volunt…

This study is testing whether using MRI scans right before each radiation treatment session is practical and can provide useful information. It involves 30 adults with liver or pancreatic cancer who will get up to 5 MRI scans during their radiation therapy. The main goal is to se…

This study aims to understand how being in ketosis—through either a ketogenic diet or a ketone supplement drink—affects brain function and alcohol intoxication. Healthy adult participants will try three different 3-day diets, then have an MRI brain scan and drink alcohol to measu…

This study aims to develop better brain scanning technology to understand how a normal, healthy brain works. Researchers are recruiting over 1,000 healthy adults to have detailed MRI scans while performing simple tasks. The information will help create clearer pictures of the bra…

This study is testing a new type of MRI scan called 3D-MRE to see if it can measure how hard or stiff a pancreatic tumor is. Researchers believe this stiffness might predict how the cancer will behave and respond to chemotherapy. The goal is to gather information that could help …

This research study aims to understand how healthy young adult brains regulate blood flow during physical challenges. Researchers will use MRI scans to measure blood flow changes while participants breathe different air mixtures and experience simulated posture changes. The goal …
