Application of Magnetic Resonance Fat-Free Imaging

NCT00944476 · Status: TERMINATED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 2

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is presently the best study for assessing the size and extent of the patient's sarcoma. Many sarcomas contain fat that can interfere with the accuracy of sarcoma detection. The investigators have developed a new MRI method that can suppress all the fat signals in the patient's tumor and this may improve the investigators' ability to see the patient's sarcoma. The purpose of this study is to determine if the investigators' new fat-free imaging methods provides them with images that are better than, equal to, or worse than those images obtained by standard MRI methods. This study may help the investigators develop a more accurate MRI examination.

Conditions

  • Sarcoma

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Fat-free MRI images utilizing standard magnetization, Questionnaire before the MRI exam

In addition to the traditional MRI exam for clinical use, a fat-free MRI based on standard magnetization transfer magnetic resonance imaging will be acquired. Pts will spend 20 extra minutes and 20 minutes total for volunteers in the MRI scanner. Patients/volunteers will complete the MR Screening Questionnaire before the MRI exam.
