New MRI shortcut could sharpen views of blood vessels
NCT ID NCT06392347
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aims to see if a quicker MRI scan can produce images of blood vessel walls that are just as good as the standard, longer scan. Researchers will enroll 15 adults who already need a vessel wall MRI as part of their care. The faster scan will be compared to the regular one by radiologists who will rate the image quality.
