Diffusion MRI of the Abdomen

Diffusion Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of the Abdomen

Sponsor

University of Wisconsin, Madison

Enrollment

80 participants

Start Date

Nov 22, 2023

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Abdominal Imaging

Summary

The purpose of this research is to see if a new magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) method will be able to improve the images taken of the abdomen. This new method includes some changes to help avoid movements that may disrupt the images like breathing, heartbeats and other involuntary motion that occurs in the abdomen. This study will these methods in healthy volunteers and validate them in patients with known liver metastases in a single contrast-enhanced MRI visit.

Eligibility

Interventions

DEVICEDiffusion Weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Diffusion-weighted (DW)-MRI has a unique ability to probe tissue microstructure without the need for ionizing radiation or intravenous contrast agents. DW-MRI of the abdomen is utilized in detection, staging, and treatment surveillance of malignancies, and has shown great promise in various other applications, including for the assessment of fibrosis in the liver, pancreas, kidneys, and other organs.
