ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying ways to make Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) exams better and more comfortable for patients. Researchers want to improve the methods used to take MRI images, which could help both healthy individuals and patients who need this type of exam for their medical care. The trial is currently looking for participants who are 18 years or older, can follow instructions, and have undergone a medical check-up before joining.

To be eligible for the study, participants must be able to undergo an MRI of different body parts, such as the head, neck, or abdomen, as part of their routine medical care. However, certain individuals cannot participate, including those with specific medical conditions that would make an MRI unsafe, such as having certain types of medical devices in their body or being pregnant. If you decide to take part in this trial, you will help researchers find better ways to conduct MRIs, which could lead to a more pleasant experience for everyone who needs this important imaging test.
