Overview
This study evaluates if technical improvements in MRI can be used to provide improved performance contrast-enhanced MRI as used for angiography and perfusion as well as in non-contrast MRI.
Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To study how a variety of technological approaches in MRI can be used to provide improved performance contrast-enhanced MR imaging as used for angiography and perfusion as well as in MR image acquisition without the use of contrast material.
OUTLINE: This is an observational study.
Participants undergo a non-contrast MRI on study and may optionally undergo a second non-contrast MRI on study. Participants may also undergo blood sample collection on study.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria:
- Adults
Exclusion Criteria:
- Standard exclusion criteria for clinical MRI; e.g. cardiac pacemaker, claustrophobia, an implanted device that has been determined to be MR conditional at 1.5T but not at 3T, anticipated considerable susceptibility artifact from hip prosthesis, etc.
