General Investigative MRI Protocol
Overview
This study is a feasibility study to evaluate new technology to improve the MRI experience, with coils, sequences and software. Patients from the Principle Investigator's exam schedule are given the opportunity to participate in this study is their MRI exam is appropriate for the specific coil, sequence or software being evaluated. If they agree, they can receive their MRI exam with the new coil, sequence or software instead of the standard one.
