Brief description of study.

The purpose of this study is to use an investigative MRI sequence or coil that may provide more information and/or higher resolution of the brain and spine, which can help radiologists detect or interpret diseases of the brain and spine.

This study investigates the use of a special MRI technique to get clearer pictures of the brain and spine. MRI, or magnetic resonance imaging, is a way to see inside the body using magnets and radio waves. This study aims to see if this special technique can help doctors better understand or find diseases in the brain and spine.

Participants in this study will undergo MRI scans using the investigational technique. This involves lying still inside a large machine that takes detailed pictures of the inside of your body. The study will compare these images to standard MRI images to see if there is a difference in quality.

  • Who can participate: Adults referred for MRI scanning of the brain and spine can participate. However, individuals who are pregnant, have conditions that prevent MRI use, or have a history of significant brain and spine issues cannot join.
  • Study details: Participants will undergo MRI scans with a special technique. This involves lying in an MRI machine, which uses magnets to take pictures of the brain and spine. There is no payment for participation.
