The result of these studies will be used to improve patient care through assessment of new technology to determine whether it is beneficial (i.e. improving data acquisition speed or image quality) during iMRI procedures.
This proposal includes evaluation of advanced MR imaging methods in the iMRI environment and will operate within the NSR guidelines for data acquisition established by the FDA/CDRH. The significant testing by vendor and Mayo staff prior to in vivo use, assure the safety of these studies and overall system stability. The result of these studies will be used to improve patient care through assessment of new technology to determine whether it is beneficial (i.e. improving data acquisition speed or image quality) during iMRI procedures.
Inclusion Criteria: * Male or female. * Age ≥ 18 years. * Healthy volunteers or patients already scheduled for a MR-guided procedure. Exclusion Criteria: * Individuals 18 years of age. * Pregnant women.
Ongoing evaluations of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) using the Philips Ingenua 1.5T scanner associated with MRI-guided procedures (e.g. ablations or biopsies) are essential to continued procedure improvement within the newly-built hybrid procedure suite.
