New Imaging Biomarkers Predictive of MA Progression
The pathophysiology of AD is complex. In addition to amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary degeneration, there is a metabolic alteration of the energy pathways, oxidative phosphorylation and glycolysis, which are involved in brain function. Several authors have shown a series of early metabolic dysregulations via an increase in phosphorylation at the …
MR Imaging Study Using the Northern Alberta Linac-MR (Northern LIGHTs - 1)
Cancers are often treated with external beam radiotherapy. Current radiotherapy treatments are performed using computed tomography (also known as CT) scans which may not always clearly identify the cancer. In some instances, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may be able to better identify cancers. Therefore, efforts are currently underway to use …
MR-BIO: A Study to Evaluate Changes in MR Imaging and Biological Parameters
The MR BIO study aims to understand the changes in the tumour and normal tissues during a course of radiotherapy. This is accomplished by studying the MR images taken during each treatment session on the MR Linear accelerator (MR Linac). The overarching hypothesis is that changes in MR imaging and …
Serial MR Imaging and MR Spectroscopic Imaging for the Characterization of Lower Grade Glioma
This trial studies how well serial magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and MR spectroscopic imaging work in characterizing lower grade glioma. Diagnostic procedures, such as MR imaging and MR spectroscopic imaging, may detect serial changes in lower grade glioma. This study may help researchers learn more about practical ways of evaluating …
Pediatric PET/MR Image Registry
The purpose of this study is to compare whole body magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, whole body positron emission tomography (PET)/MR imaging, and (if available) PET/Computed Tomography (CT) imaging for the diagnosis of tumors in children and young adults. Sensitivities, specificities and diagnostic accuracies of the different imaging modalities will be …
Detecting Early Alzheimer's Using MR
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia, affecting approximately 10% of individuals aged ≥ 65. Most available treatments aim at controlling symptoms at an early stage rather than providing a cure. Therefore, an accurate and early diagnosis of AD with appropriate management will slow the progression of …
ETASCAN Project: ETAS Project 2
This study aims to investigate the chronic effects of ETAS® on cognitive, affective and neural outcomes in healthy adults aged 60-80 years with mild to moderate subjective cognitive complaints.
Mosaic Mitral Valve: Long-Term Outcomes in Patients Under 65
The safety and efficacy of the Mosaic bioprosthetic heart valves for cardiac valve replacement in the aortic position has been well documented throughout the literature. However, few studies assessing structural valve deficiency, patient outcomes and overall product performance in patients under the age of 65 exists for the Mosaic mitral …
The MR-Linac Technical Feasibility Protocol
Radiation therapy is predominantly based on a Computed Tomography (CT) scan obtained during the treatment planning phase. During the course of radiotherapy, however, both the tumor and organs at risk (OAR) are variable in position, shape and size between fractions, and during beam delivery within one treatment fraction. Around the …
MR-guided Focused Ultrasound Plus GCase
The goal of this study is to establish safety and feasibility of intracerebral delivery of GCase via MRgFUS. This technique may offer potential benefits given the exposure of the putamen to GCase in animal models has been shown to be efficacious in improving Parkinson's disease pathology and phenotype.
