Below are current clinical trials.

Filter this list of studies by location, status and more.

1. A Study Comparing the Effective Use of a Compact MRI Scanner to Other Similar Scanners

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate the performance of the new compact Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scanner compared to standard MR exams of the brain.

2. Evaluation of NSR 7T Magnetic Resonance Imaging Hardware and Software

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate and develop new imaging techniques on the new MRI scanner.

3. Evaluation of Advanced Methods for Improved Imaging in Musculoskeletal MRI

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study are to evaluate new MRI software methods to improve imaging near implants. 

4. Ultrasound Evaluation of Synovitis

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this pilot study is to analyze the effectiveness of a new ultrasound microvessel imaging technology for evaluation of synovitis in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.

5. A Study to Evaluate fMRI of Active Deep Brain Stimulation in Epilepsy

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to to use functional imaging to study the mechanisms of anterior thalamic nucleus (ANT) Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS).

6. Posterior Fossa Decompression with or without Duraplasty for Chiari Type I Malformation with Syringomyelia

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to determine whether a posterior fossa decompression or a posterior fossa decompression with duraplasty results in better patient outcomes with fewer complications and improved quality of life in those who have Chiari malformation type I and syringomyelia.

7. A Study to Assess Neuromuscular Ultrasound to Predict the Duration of Mechanical Ventilation.

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether or not the diaphragm and abdominal muscle thickness determine the duration of mechanical ventilation in adult critically ill patients.

8. A Study to Evaluate the Patient Experience Regarding Image-Guided Percutaneous Breast Biopsy

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to to better understand the concerns of patients prior to a breast biopsy so that we may improve our practice and ultimately enhance overall patient experience.

9. A Study of the Mayo Clinic College of Medicine Ultrasound System

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is is to assess the EPIQ-Affiniti and NG Compact ultrasound systems in a clinical environment and collect clinical data and feedback when compared to the site’s standard ultrasound system.

10. Testing Lutetium Lu 177 Dotatate in Patients With Somatostatin Receptor Positive Advanced Bronchial Neuroendocrine Tumors

    Rochester, Minn.

    The purpose of this trial is to study the effect of lutetium Lu 177 dotatate compared to the usual treatment (everolimus) in treating patients with somatostatin receptor positive bronchial neuroendocrine tumors that have spread to other places in the body (advanced). Radioactive drugs, such as lutetium Lu 177 dotatate, may carry radiation directly to tumor cells and may reduce harm to normal cells. Lutetium Lu 177 dotatate may be more effective than everolimus in shrinking or stabilizing advanced bronchial neuroendocrine tumors.
