MRI scan to measure body chemicals without needles
This study tests a new way to use MRI to measure certain body chemicals (metabolite levels) without injections. If you are healthy and can safely do a long MRI scan, you may be able to help evaluate whether the method works reliably.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must sign the study consent form
- You should be generally healthy, with no known nerve or metabolic (body chemical) diseases
- You must be able to lie still in the MRI scanner for at least 1 hour
- You must be 18 or older
- You cannot be pregnant or breastfeeding
- You must not have certain metal/ferromagnetic implants or metal/tattoos where the MRI radio waves scan
- Your body weight must be at least 35 kg
