4D MRI parameters linked to cardiovascular and cancer disease outcomes
Official title: Association Between 4D MRI Parameters and the Clinical Characteristics and Prognosis of Major Chronic Diseases
Run by Ulsan University Hospital · NCT07678606 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study tests whether 4D MRI measurements can predict how cardiovascular diseases and cancer will progress in adults undergoing routine cardiac MRI at a single Korean hospital.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults (19+) undergoing clinically indicated cardiac MRI at Ulsan University Hospital who consent and receive an additional 4D MRI sequence in a single session.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with poor-quality MRI images or who do not undergo the extra 4D sequence may not receive any direct benefit.

What this trial studies
This is a prospective registry at Ulsan University Hospital enrolling 1,000 adults undergoing cardiac MRI. Participants receive an additional 4D MRI sequence during the same imaging session, which does not affect clinical care. The study analyzes quantitative 4D MRI parameters to see if they relate to the occurrence, severity, and prognosis of major chronic diseases, aiming to identify potential imaging biomarkers. It does not involve changes to treatment plans and relies on observational data collected during standard care. Eligibility includes adults 19 and older who can consent and for whom an extra 4D sequence is performed.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, 4D MRI biomarkers could help clinicians better predict disease progression and tailor monitoring strategies.
How similar studies have gone: Previous work in advanced MRI has shown promise for biomarker discovery, but 4D MRI in this specific adult cardiac/cancer context remains exploratory.
