Summary

The investigators want to know if magnetic resonance imaging can accurately provide an early diagnosis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

MRI

Subjects will have magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)scans of the cervical spine(neck). This involves lying on a table and sliding into a scanner consisting of a large magnet. This will take approximately one hour to complete. All subjects will be instructed to remove all jewelry and other metal-containing objects for the scan. During the MRI scan loud noises may be heard. Subjects may have a soft brace for the neck for positioning purposes.

OTHER

Clinical Exam

Brief neurological exam will be performed.
