Evaluation of new magnetic resonance imaging techniques

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This research protocol aims to evaluate new and emerging magnetic resonance (MR) techniques in both patients and healthy volunteers after software or hardware upgrades. The study serves as a master protocol to assess multiple MR techniques, focusing on their feasibility, image quality, and measurement repeatability. By comparing these new approaches with standard procedures, the study seeks to identify promising techniques for further investigation or clinical adoption. Additional measurements will be performed during routine MR examinations without significant added risk or time.

Why it matters

Who can join: the full rules

Inclusion Criteria:

* Type 1: Patients undergoing a routine clinical MR examination using established MR techniques to which an additional new sequence is added for evaluation, who give verbal consent for additional data to be acquired for evaluation of a new MR technique.
* Type 2: Patients who voluntarily agree to participate in the study by giving written informed consent.
* Type 3: Normal volunteers who voluntarily agree to participate in the study by giving written informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Standard MR Exclusion criteria apply to all MR examinations, as documented in the MRI Local Rules.
* Patients or volunteers who are unwilling to undergo an additional MR examination, for example due to claustrophobia, will be excluded from the study.
* Normal volunteers who do not have an NHS number or who are not registered with a GP will be excluded.
