OBSERVATIONAL
Conditions
Summary
This research will focus on the prospective qualification and validation of dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) candidate biomarkers (i.e., Ktrans and Ve) to assess the natural history of osteoradionecrosis (ORN) and treatment for this devastating complication related to irradiation of head and neck cancers. The investigations will also include assessment of DCE-MRI candidate biomarkers for pre-qualification as quantitative imaging biomarkers of soft-tissue structures.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria11
- Provide signed and dated informed consent form.
- Aged 18 years or older.

Interventions
Researchers would like to test the accuracy of the MRI data being used for this study. If you agree, you will have 2 additional MRI scans within 2 weeks before Visit 1. The first 90 participants who agree will be selected to have the following scans: * 35 participants will be scanned 2 times on one MRI device (Device #1). * 35 participants will be scanned 2 times on another MRI device (Device #2). * 20 participants will be scanned 1 time on both MRI devices (Device #1 and #2). If you agree and you are chosen, the study doctor will tell you if you will have scans on 1. or 2 MRI devices.
