AI cuts MRI time in half for abdominal scans
NCT ID NCT07551375
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new, faster MRI scan for the abdomen and pelvis that uses artificial intelligence to create clear images. About 300 adults who need an MRI as part of their care will get both the standard scan and the fast version. The goal is to see if the fast scan is just as good or better at finding problems like gallstones, inflammation, or tumors, while making the process quicker and more comfortable.

Who is studied
The study population consists of adult patients (aged 18 years and older) with clinically suspected acute calculous cholecystitis, who are admitted to Peking Union Medical College Hospital and planned for cholecystectomy. All patients will undergo preoperative fast MRI with deep learning reconstruction for risk stratification and severity grading. Patients with absolute MRI contraindications or non-biliary causes of abdominal pain are excluded.
