Sponsor

Enrollment

1,000 participants

Start Date

Mar 1, 2012

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Heart Failure Liver Fibrosis Cardiac Transplant Rejection Aortic Aneurysms

Summary

Magnetic resonance elastography is a novel non-invasive MRI technique to obtain stiffness of soft tissues such as liver, heart, kidneys, etc. In this imaging technique a person is laid in an MR scanner and a paddle (plastic drum) is put on the area of interest to send sound vibration via a speaker placed outside the scan room which is connecting plastic drum via a plastic tube. These vibrations are scanned using MRI to estimate the stiffness of soft tissues such as liver, heart, kidneys, breast etc.

Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study tests a new MRI-based technique called Magnetic Resonance Elastography (MRE) that measures the stiffness of soft tissues in the body — similar to how a doctor might feel for a lump — but using sound waves and a scanner. **You may be eligible if...** - You are 18 years of age or older - You do not have any metal implants that are unsafe for MRI **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have unapproved metal implants in your body - You are pregnant or may become pregnant - You are claustrophobic Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

This summary was AI-generated to explain the trial in plain language. It is not medical advice. Always discuss eligibility with your doctor before enrolling in a clinical trial.
