Summary

The purpose of this research study is to test the use of new Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) coils. An MRI takes pictures of body parts using a large magnet and a computer. A coil is the part of the MRI system that collects data to make the MR images. The investigators have designed, developed, and built two child-sized coils to use when imaging elbows, wrists, knees, and ankles. These new coils will be better suited to fit infants through teenagers rather than the conventional coils used which were created for adults These MRI coils have not been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and are considered investigational devices.
