NCT ID NCT06745791

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published

Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study tests a new MRI technique called BoneMRI that creates CT-like images of the spine without using radiation. Researchers will compare BoneMRI images to standard CT scans in 450 people who need both scans. If accurate, BoneMRI could allow doctors to diagnose and plan spine treatments using just one safe scan.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
BoneMRI (a special MRI technique that creates CT-like images of bone)
What this could lead to
If successful, BoneMRI could replace CT scans for spine imaging, giving doctors clear bone images without radiation exposure. This could make diagnosis, treatment planning, and surgery safer and more efficient.
What could go wrong
This is a validation study, not a treatment trial. It checks if the new MRI technique is accurate enough. There is no guarantee it will work for all patients or replace standard CT scans.
