Validation and implementation of advanced MRI protocols

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 focuses on optimizing MRI acquisition sequences using a dedicated 3T MRI imager located at the INSERM premises. The study involves healthy participants and patients, where various sequences will be tested to enhance image quality for brain studies. Each sequence will be evaluated by a neuroradiologist and a research engineer to determine optimal parameters for future tests. The goal is to ensure that the imaging techniques remain at the forefront of research applications in neuroscience.
