About this trial

T1rho imaging is a new MRI technique that has strong potential in neuroimaging. This technique does not require exogenous contrast agents and has high spatial resolution.

In this study we aim to characterise the normal appearance of T1rho in the brain parenchyma in healthy participants. T1rho values will be measured in normal brain structures.

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

None

Disqualifiers

Subjects with a contraindication to magnetic resonance imaging such as the presence of metallic implants, claustrophobia and pregnancy.

Subjects with previous severe allergic or anaphylactoid reaction to a gadolinium contrast agent, or contraindication to contrast gadolinium administration, such severe renal disease or acutely deteriorating renal function, who would be at risk of nephrogenic systemic fibrosis

Subjects who are unable to tolerate the scan without moving the head as a result of symptoms such as tremor, spasticity, involuntary movements and spasms, cognitive impairment, coughing, and shortness of breath.
