New MRI technique aims to spot hidden nerve injuries in the neck
NCT ID NCT07513467
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a special high-resolution MRI can show very small nerves in the neck and spine better than a regular MRI. Researchers will scan 30 healthy adults for 30 minutes and check how clearly the nerves appear. The goal is to find a way to see nerve injuries that are usually missed on standard scans.
