Structure and Function of MRI Clinical Trial
Official title:
Ultrahigh Field Body MR Imaging
The primary objective of this study is to develop new ways to acquire MRI data and/or new ways to analyze the acquired data.
The acquired data will be used to investigate the structure and function of the body. In addition the developmental aspect of this study, certain information may be used to obtain normal values for healthy adult structural and functional information. This information would be valuable if and when the developed methods are incorporated into future clinical studies involving patient populations which would be recruited under separate protocols. Our hypotheses is that imaging and spectroscopy methods can be developed to a level where the increased sensitivity and resolution of 7 Tesla (7T) MRI will improve the non-invasive studies of the human body. ;
