This study tests whether a 3D MRI scan can accurately measure liver scarring and related high blood pressure without needing a needle. About 100 adults with confirmed cirrhosis will get both a 3D and a 2D MRI scan, and results will be compared to the standard pressure measurement…

This study looks at whether magnetic resonance elastography (MRE), a special MRI that measures tissue stiffness, can accurately grade liver fibrosis (scarring) in people with chronic hepatitis B. Researchers will compare MRE results to standard liver biopsies in 600 adults. If su…

This study is testing whether a special MRI scan (3D-MRE) can accurately measure pressure in the liver's blood vessels, which is important for managing cirrhosis and advanced liver disease. Currently, doctors must insert a thin tube into a neck vein to measure this pressure, whic…

This study looks at whether measuring the stiffness and stickiness of brain tumors (gliomas) using a special MRI technique called magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) can help doctors better understand the tumor's behavior. About 100 adults with newly diagnosed gliomas will have…

This study tests whether special MRI scans can help diagnose and track diabetic kidney disease (DKD) without needles or biopsies. About 150 adults with DKD will get MRI scans and regular check-ups over 6 months. The goal is to see if MRI can predict how fast kidney function decli…

This study is testing whether a special type of MRI, called 3D magnetic resonance elastography (MRE), can measure the stiffness and stickiness of meningioma brain tumors before surgery. Researchers will compare the MRI results with what surgeons find during the operation and with…

This study tests whether a special MRI scan (magnetic resonance elastography) can measure how stiff and sticky a spinal cord tumor is before surgery. Knowing this could help surgeons plan the best way to remove the tumor. The study will enroll 20 people who are already scheduled …

This study tests whether a special MRI scan (called MRE) can measure kidney scarring in people with early chronic kidney disease. Currently, doctors use a needle biopsy to check for scarring, which is invasive and can miss patchy damage. The study will follow 200 adults for at le…

This study looks at whether information from CT scans, lab tests, and physical exams can help predict serious problems within 30 days in people with a blood clot in the lung (pulmonary embolism). Researchers will collect data from 300 adults diagnosed with this condition. The goa…

This study is building an artificial intelligence tool that analyzes CT scans of the lungs to predict which patients with acute pulmonary embolism (blood clots in the lungs) are at risk of serious complications like death or needing a breathing machine. Researchers will study 2,0…
