About this trial

The purpose of this study is to compare and evaluate a faster MR image that has been optimized to look at participants blood vessel walls.

Eligibility criteria

This trial accepts healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

None

Disqualifiers

Any person under the age of 18

Presence of artifact-producing intracranial devices (aneurysm clips/coils, ventricular drains, craniectomy mesh, etc.)

Any person with contraindications to MRI (medical instability, non-MRI compatible implanted devices, retained metallic foreign bodies, claustrophobia)

Large space-occupying lesions (50 mL) or substantial mass effect (herniation, 5mm midline shift) on preceding brain imaging,

Trial population

The staff will be observant of issues related to undue influence as it relates to any vulnerable populations in the event, they are eligible and enrolled in the study (e.g. there will be no impact on grades, employment status, access to medical care or information). If employees, students, etc. meet the eligibility criteria and are enrolled we will do a thorough and sensitive informed consent process in order to protect their rights and minimize any risk of coercion or undue influence.
