ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is focused on developing new techniques for magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, which is a type of scan used to create detailed images of the body. The researchers are looking for healthy volunteers to help test and improve these new scanning methods. By using volunteer participants, they aim to gather important information that will enhance the speed and quality of MR scans, making them even more useful for future medical research.

To participate, volunteers need to be healthy adults aged 18 and older, and they will be recruited through email from specific departments at UCL and UCLH. However, individuals with certain conditions—such as those with pacemakers, other implanted devices, or who might be pregnant—will not be able to take part. Participants can expect a safe and straightforward experience since MR imaging has been used safely on millions of people worldwide. It's important to note that the scans will only be used for research purposes and not for any personal medical care. All ethical guidelines will be followed to ensure the safety and well-being of everyone involved.
