About

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a diagnostic imaging method with constant progress and improvement in the way the MRI images are obtained. Many of these advances involve changes to MRI software and hardware. The goal of this study is to find out the possible benefits of new MRI techniques. This will allow us to use the new MRI methods in research and patient care.

Inclusion criteria

• Men and women age 18 or older

Exclusion criteria

• Anyone who would be normally excluded from undergoing an MRI examination as per Memorial Hospital for Cancer and Allied Diseases Screening Questionnaire for MRI
• Patients/volunteers with a pacemaker, aneurysm clip or any other condition that would warrant avoidance of a strong magnetic field
• Female patients/ volunteers who are pregnant or nursing
• Patients/ volunteers who are unable to comply or complete the MRI exam due to claustrophobia or high levels of anxiety

Description:

Add-On Research Patients will include patients who are scheduled for a routine clinical MRI who meet the eligibility requirements for this protocol. Protocol participation will consist of an "add-on" research. MRI scan, which will be performed any point during of the routine clinical MRI scan. Volunteers will be subjects expressing interest in participation and who meet the eligibility requirements for this protocol. No contrast enhanced research MRIs including gadolinium-based or other contrast agents will be performed in volunteers.
