Magnetic Resonance Imaging at Different Levels of Magnetic Intensity Clinical Trials References presented on Clinical Trials Search isn't meant to be a substitute for proven healthcare advice, trips or professional assistance using a genuine physician. We are not docs. Always confer with your physician about Magnetic Resonance Imaging at Different Levels of Magnetic Intensity conditions. Clinical Trials Search.org is a site devoted to listing clinical research studies in human subjects. Magnetic Resonance Imaging at Different Levels of Magnetic Intensity Clinical research trials and Magnetic Resonance Imaging at Different Levels of Magnetic Intensity healthcare trials happen in hundreds of localities throughout the United States of America. A clinical trial or clinical study is a research project with human volunteer subjects. Clinical drug trials and pharmaceutical clinical trials usually evaluate the potency of new drugs. The propose of the studies / projects is to answer particular human health questions. Clinical trials are a popular way for mDs, government agencies, and private sector companies to detect cures for all sorts of conditions, such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging at Different Levels of Magnetic Intensity. Magnetic Resonance Imaging at Different Levels of Magnetic Intensity Clinical Trials and other clinical trials allow volunteers to acquire healthcare treatment choices before they are available to the general public. Some times the subjects recieve professional assistance for free, and every now and again they are compensated for their time. Sometimes there is a cost for a Magnetic Resonance Imaging at Different Levels of Magnetic Intensity clinical trial. Subjects frequently obtain the most expert healthcare possible for their Magnetic Resonance Imaging at Different Levels of Magnetic Intensity condition. Risks are a reality, nevertheless, and can include more or frequent doctor trips, medical risks (possibly life-threatening), and/or the treatment being uneffective. Trials are federally governed with stern guidelines to protect clinical trials patients.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging at Different Levels of Magnetic Intensity
For Condition: Cardiovascular Disease,Healthy
Status: Recruiting
Sponsor(s): National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) ,
Synopsis: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a diagnostic tool that creates high quality images of the human body without the use of X-ray (radiation). MRI uses different levels of magnetic fields to create images of the body and organs. Occasionally, researchers will give patients undergoing a MRI an injection of a substance called gadolinium. Gadolinium works by brightening areas of the magnetic resonance image, thereby improving the contrast. In this study researchers will use magnetic resonance imaging and contrast substances, like gadolinium, on normal volunteers in order to evaluate different aspects of its performance. Information gathered from this study may be used to develop more specific research studies involving MRI.
Details: Technical evaluation of magnetic resonance imaging and spectroscopy will be performed on normal volunteers. These studies may involve the intravenous administration of commercially available MR contrast media. The results will be used to evaluate the performance of various pulse sequences, gradient coils, and rf coils on human subjects and will provide essential ground work for specific patient protocols.
Eligibility:
Study Type: Observational, Natural History
Minimum Age/Maximum Age: /
Genders: Both
Protocol Entry Criteria: INCLUSION CRITERIA: Any normal volunteer between ages 18 and 80 who is capable of giving informed consent. EXCLUSION CRITERIA: A subject will be excluded if he/she has a contraindication to MR scanning such as surgery that involved metal clips or wires which might be expected to concentrate radiofrequency fields or cause tissue damage from twisting twisting in a magnetic field. Examples include: Aneurysm clip; Implanted neural stimulator; Implanted cardiac pacemaker or autodefibrillator; Cochlear implant; Ocular foreign body (e.g. metal shavings); Insulin pump. Subjects will be excluded if it is deemed that they have a condition which would preclude their use for technical development (e.g. paralyzed hemidiaphragm, morbid obesity, claustrophobia, etc.) or present unnecessary risk (e.g. pregnancy, surgery of uncertain type, etc.). Lactating women and subjects with hemoglobinopathies, asthma, or renal or hepatic disease will be excluded from studies involving the administration of contrast agents.
