Clinical Trial Summary

This pilot clinical trial studies dynamic contrast enhanced (DCE)-magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in diagnosing cancer. New diagnostic procedures, such as DCE-MRI may help find and diagnose cancer


Clinical Trial Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Optimize and develop functional DCE-MRI pulse sequences, which involve the injection of MRI-visible contrast agents, for imaging in the head/neck, abdominal and pelvic regions.

II. Determine the ideal radiofrequency (RF) coil setup to maximize signal to noise ratio of the optimized pulse sequences.

III. Distill the findings of specific aims 1 and 2 into streamlined protocols that can be used in subsequent studies for cancer phenotyping and treatment monitoring in a quantitative manner.

IV. To establish a virtual reference image repository for future studies.

OUTLINE: Patients undergo DCE-MRI over approximately 30-60 minutes consisting of an anatomical scout image to localize the region of interest, a set of pre-injection scans to calibrate the dynamic image set, a dynamic image set during which contrast agent will be injected, and a set of post-injection scans to calibrate the DCE-MRI database. ;
