Cardiovascular Diseases
Summary
Study start date: November 5, 1996
Actual date on which the first participant was enrolled.Technical evaluation of magnetic resonance imaging and spectroscopy will be performed on normal volunteers. These studies will be conducted in the MRI systems located at the NIH. These studies may involve the intravenous administration of commercially available MR contrast media and exercise. The results will be used to evaluate the performance of various pulse sequences, gradient coils, and RF coils on human subjects and will provide essential ground work for specific patient protocols.
