Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center
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.
Inclusion Criteria: * Men and women age 18 or older Exclusion Criteria: * Anyone who would be normally excluded from undergoing an MRI examination as per Memorial Hospital for Cancer and Allied Diseases Screening Questionnaire for MRI * Patients/volunteers with a pacemaker, aneurysm clip or any other condition that would warrant avoidance of a strong magnetic field * Female patients/ volunteers who are pregnant or nursing * Patients/ volunteers who are unable to comply or complete the MRI exam due to claustrophobia or high levels of anxiety * Patients/ volunteers from the vulnerable populat…
All participants will complete the MR Screening Questionnaire before the MRI exam. During the MRI exam, all participants will be observed through the window from the operator console. Verbal communication will be kept with the participant throughout the exam via a speaker system.
MRI Studies: The MRI scans will be performed on a 1.5T or 3T MRI scanner. Conventional MRI studies will be performed using the standard clinical sequences. The new research sequences will be performed.at any point during the clinical exam. Total imaging time for volunteers will be 30-45 minutes.
