New Ways of Doing Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Children and Adults

Recruiting

• Conditions: Adult Disease; Pediatric Disorder
• Interventions: Diagnostic Test: MRI

• Registration Number: NCT04643015
• Lead Sponsor: Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center

Brief Summary

This study is being done to see how we can prevent problems caused by movement during the MRI scan. Different ways of doing the scan (techniques) will be tested to see if they are practical and can prevent problems related to motion. For example, changes in the timing of the magnetic field and the radio waves will be examined, and at changes in the way a computer is used to process the images. The new techniques will be compared with the techniques that are usually used.

Inclusion Criteria

• Patients of any age, including males and females, who are being treated in the Department of Pediatrics and are already scheduled to undergo MRI

Exclusion Criteria
