Evaluating MRI for Guided Procedures

This study is evaluating how well Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) using the Philips Ingenua 1.5T scanner works during MRI-guided procedures like ablations (a procedure that uses heat or cold to destroy tissue) or biopsies (removing a small piece of tissue for examination). Researchers want to see if new MRI methods can improve patient care by making data acquisition faster or image quality better. You might be able to join if you are 18 years or older, male or female, and are either a healthy volunteer or already scheduled for an MRI-guided procedure. The study will measure if these MRI improvements lead to better patient care over three years. The current status of this study is unclear.

What this trial measures

  • Clinical determination whether the sequence improves patient care during MRI-guided procedures.3 years

    It will be determined whether the sequence under investigation improves one of the following: 1. lesion targeting (e.g. better guidance of applicators by reduction of metal artifact), 2. lesion ablation (e.g. improved MR thermometry, visualization of cryoablation ice), or 3. accurate assessment of treatment outcome (e.g. margins of ablation relative to lesion boundaries.
