Study start date: September 8, 1999

Actual date on which the first participant was enrolled.

Technical advances in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS) has provided researchers with the opportunity to study functional and metabolic changes of the central nervous system (CNS) in both healthy controls and individuals with neurological diseases in response to sensory, motor or cognitive stimulation. While MRI is in common usage in radiology departments and clinics MRI and MRS techniques and hardware are continually being upgraded and designed for Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) and Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopic Imaging of the CNS at 3.0 Tesla. We will evaluate new sequences on volunteers and for potential use in patients with CNS pathology. These studies are required in order to develop and implement new imaging techniques for research and clinical applications.

Protocol

This section provides details of the study plan, including how the study is designed and what the study is measuring.
Design Details

99 patients to be enrolled

Total number of participants that the clinical trial aims to recruit.

Eligibility

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria: person's general health condition or prior treatments.
Criteria

Any sex

Biological sex of participants that are eligible to enroll.

Over 18 Years

Range of ages for which participants are eligible to join.

Healthy volunteers allowed

If individuals who are healthy and do not have the condition being studied can participate.

Criteria

4 exclusion criteria prevent from participating
contraindications for MRI including aneurysm clip; implanted neural stimulator; implanted cardiac pacemaker or auto-defibrillator; cochlear implant; ocular foreign body (e.g. metal shavings); or insulin pump, or other metal in the body.
pregnancy
Subjects will be excluded if it is deemed that they have a condition that would preclude their participation for technical development (e.g. claustrophobia)
Subjects will be excluded if they present unnecessary risk (e.g. Brain surgery of uncertain type, etc.).
