Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to find out if new Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) computer software will: * help make scans and exams faster * reduce artifacts * make MRI easier to understand * allow technicians to focus more on the participant and less on the scanner Participants will complete one brain MRI imaging session, lasting about 60 minutes.

Detailed description

The overall goal of this application is to design technologies that improve the value of MRI, and specifically mitigate many of the complications that negatively impact this value. The scope of MRI value is vast, but can be expressed by efficiency (high patient throughput and consistent image quality), accessibility (better scope of use and equity of availability), safety, and user experience for the patient, technologist, and interpreting physician.

Conditions

• Brain MRI

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	Brain MRI	90 participants will undergo a 60 minute SOC brain MRI followed by 15 minute spiral MRI
DEVICE	Brain MRI - SOC and spiral	6 participants will be scanned using 2 versions (SOC and spiral) pf 6 sequences (12 scans total).
DEVICE	Brain MRI - spiral	10 participants will be scanned with 3 sequences, 3 times (9 total scans per participants)
DEVICE	Brain MRI - SOC and spiral	10 participants will be scanned using 2 versions (SOC and spiral) of 6 sequences (12 scans total).
DEVICE	Brain MRI - spiral	10 participants will be scanned with 3 spiral sequences to achieve desired signal to noise ratio (SNR).
DEVICE	Brain MRI - spiral	5 participants will be scanned with 2 pairs of 6 spiral sequences.
