Experimental group

Description:

Eppendorf tubes containing 10% fluorine-19 diluted in agar were taped to the upper thigh of participants. Investigational device was used to image the phantom with Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Imaging was performed for anatomical (proton) and fluorine (agent detection). Total scan time was under 1 hour. Objectives: Verify RF coil functionality Obtain preliminary detection threshold limits using a human coil loading

Treatment:

Device: MRI
