Multi-Field-Strength Brain MRI Atlas for Healthy Chinese Adults

Official title: Multi-Field-Strength MRI Brain Atlas Construction in Healthy Chinese Population

Run by Tang-Du Hospital · NCT07786233 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study tests how brain measurements vary across MRI strengths (0.55T to 7T) in healthy Chinese adults to build standard brain templates.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Healthy Chinese adults aged 16–66 without neurological or psychiatric disorders and with no MRI contraindications.

Probably not a fit

Individuals with current neurological or psychiatric conditions or those unable to complete MRI exams may not benefit from the atlas outcomes.

What this trial studies

This prospective imaging study collects structural, diffusion, functional, and quantitative MRI data from healthy Chinese volunteers at multiple field strengths. Standardized protocols include preprocessing, registration, and segmentation to create multi-field-strength brain templates. The goal is to characterize field-strength–related differences in brain morphometry, diffusion metrics, and functional connectivity, and to establish normative reference data. Data will be analyzed to assess consistency across field strengths and to produce accessible brain atlas resources for researchers. Eligible participants will undergo MRI scans at 0.55T, 1.5T, 3T, 5T, and 7T with appropriate safety screenings.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this could provide widely usable brain templates across MRI field strengths to improve brain research and clinical studies in Chinese populations.

How similar studies have gone: Prior multi-field MRI studies have produced useful brain templates, supporting the potential value of this approach, though the exact population and field-strength combination is somewhat specialized.
