Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to understand whether there are differences in the cerebral blood flow, and oxygen metabolism affected by two types of anesthesia: Propofol or Dexmedetomidine. Subjects who require clinical anesthesia for a clinical MRI and for whom the use of Propofol and Dexmedetomidine are in clinical equipoise will be offered to have the anesthesia they will receive during their MRI randomized.

* Change in cerebral blood flow (ml blood/100g/min)
* Change in cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen (ml O2/100g/min)

Researchers will compare Propofol (Group A) to Dexmedetomidine (Group B) to see if compare the hemodynamic response to anesthesia.

Participants will be randomized to receive one of two equally safe anesthetics (Propofol or Dexmedetomidine).

Randomization of Propofol or Dexmedetomidine

This intervention is a randomization of Propofol or Dexmedetomidine. Each group will receive three minutes of research images, followed by induction of anesthesia and immediately followed by three minutes of imaging. The subject will receive standard care clinical magnetic resonance imaging for 45 minutes and three minutes of research images at the end of the scan.
