No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine if three functional Magnetic Resonance brain imaging techniques: Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy(MRS),Magnetic Resonance perfusion, and Diffusion Tensor Imaging(DTI) can detect brain alterations distinctive for neuropsychiatric systemic lupus erythematosus (NPSLE)and systemic lupus erythematosus(SLE).

Conditions

  • Neuropsychiatric Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Magnetic Resonance Angiography (MRA)

As part of the Magnetic Resonance(MR) scan, you will need to lie still on a padded MR table inside the MR machine for about 15 minutes at a time while MR studies are being performed on you. The total time for the clinical portion of the MR study is approximately 35-40 minutes and there will be an additional 30 minutes for the research related MR studies. The total time you will spend on the MR table for this research will seldom be more than one hour.
