Optimizing MRI protocols for better diagnostic quality

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 study focuses on optimizing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) protocols by testing various technical parameters on both healthy volunteers and patients requiring MRI scans. Participants will undergo an inclusion visit to verify eligibility, followed by an imaging visit for the MRI examination, which can occur on the same day or within 15 days. The study is conducted at Rennes University Hospital and aims to enhance the diagnostic quality of MRI through tailored protocols.
