“Calibration of MR and PET-MR Imaging Protocols at RIC”
This is a protocol to facilitate on-site calibration of the technical aspects of the Siemens Biograph mMR (molecular MR) Positron Emission Tomography-Magnetic Resonance (PET-MR) scanner and the 3T Siemens Vida MR scanner at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center (CSMC) Biomedical Imaging Research Institute (BIRI) Research Imaging Core after scanner installation. The mMR is a FDA-approved standard clinical device (non-experimental) and will be used in accordance with clearance and approval from the FDA. The Vida is a state-of-the-art FDA approved scanner and will be clinically licensed within a short time.
PET-MR imaging on Biograph mMR scanner
Participants will undergo PET-MR imaging on the Biograph mMR scanner to evaluate the technical aspects of the total acquisition protocol directly post clinical administration of FDG, thus removing the requirement for additional radioisotope.
MR-only imaging on Biograph mMR scanner
Participants will undergo MR-only imaging to test the technical aspects of the MR-only protocol on the Biograph mMR scanner. No drug administered.
MR imaging on the Siemens Vida 3T MR scanner
Participants will undergo MR imaging to test the technical aspects of the MR protocol on the Vida MR scanner
