Overview

IRMaGe is a Joint Service Unit (UMS) which provides users of brain exploration equipment (clinical MRI and preclinical, TMS, EEG, NIRS and metabolomics). The methods available on this equipment are intended to evolve according to the most recent discoveries and this protocol aims to frame the developments necessary around clinical MRI for IRMaGe can continue to offer tools at the cutting edge of technology.

Description

The studies will be carried out on healthy subjects and voluntary patients, who will have given their consent. Their main objective will be the development and optimization of sequence parameters or design stimulation paradigms in order to optimize the quality and relevance of the images produced taking into account the parameters anatomical, functional or metabolic while respecting the experimental constraints imposed by the protocol concerned (equipment of experimentation, additional physiological measurements, etc.). The main judgement criteria will be measurements inherent in the MRI sequence and a physiological measurement associated in the protocol concerned

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Participants with normal or corrected vision
  • Participants affiliated to a social security scheme or beneficiaries of such a scheme
  • Participants with French as their mother tongue
  • Participants who have given the signed informed consent before carrying out any procedure related to the study.
  • Volunteer patients will be recruited as part of their follow-up at the CHU. Their pathology will be in agreement with that of the research protocol to be optimized.

Exclusion Criteria:

        Criteria relating to contraindications to the explorations provided for by the MRI

               -  Major protected by law
               -  Participants under administrative or judicial supervision
               -  Participation in another ongoing study if the study may interfere with
                  participation in the protocol MAP-IRMaGe.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
