Validation of a new MRI technique for spinal bone imaging

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 aims to clinically validate BoneMRI, a novel quantitative 3D MRI technique developed by MRIGuidance BV©, for visualizing spinal bone structures. BoneMRI generates CT-like images that allow for detailed assessment of cortical and trabecular bone, enhancing the capabilities of standard MRI. The study will evaluate the accuracy of BoneMRI in visualizing osseous structures across various MR field strengths and scanner types to ensure robustness against data variability. By validating this technology for the entire spine, the study seeks to improve diagnostic workflows and reduce reliance on ionizing radiation from CT scans.
