Magnetic Resonance Elastography as a Method to Estimate Stiffness of Soft Tissues
Conditions: Heart Failure, Liver Fibrosis, Cardiac Transplant Rejection, Aortic Aneurysms
Sex: All
Ages: 18 Years – N/A
Healthy volunteers: Yes
Enrollment: 1000
Sponsor: Arunark Kolipaka
Location: The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center Columbus Ohio
Summary
Magnetic resonance elastography is a novel non-invasive MRI technique to obtain stiffness of soft tissues such as liver, heart, kidneys, etc. In this imaging technique a person is laid in an MR scanner and a paddle (plastic drum) is put on the area of interest to send sound vibration via a speaker placed outside the scan room which is connecting plastic drum via a plastic tube. These vibrations are scanned using MRI to estimate the stiffness of soft tissues such as liver, heart, kidneys, breast etc.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
Any participant 18 years or older and are MR safe.
Exclusion Criteria:
That study participants will be excluded if they have any unapproved metal in their bodies, or if the volunteers are pregnant or possible of becoming pregnant. Also if the participants are claustrophobic.
