Trial Summary

What is the purpose of this trial?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.

Eligibility Criteria

This trial is for men and women aged 18 or older who are in good health. It's not suitable for pregnant or nursing women, those considered vulnerable by specific regulations, anyone with conditions that make MRI unsafe like pacemakers, or individuals unable to complete an MRI due to anxiety issues.

Inclusion Criteria

I am 18 years old or older.

Exclusion Criteria
