Trial summary

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a noninvasive and non-ionizing (no use of X-rays) imaging modality. Today it is considered an anatomical and functional exploration reference technique. Since its inception around 1985, this technology is constantly evolving. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: MRI Sequences Optimization in Healthy Subjects

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a noninvasive and non-ionizing (no use of X-rays) imaging modality. Today it is considered an anatomical and functional exploration reference technique. Since its inception around 1985, this technology is constantly evolving.

Many advances in MRI require constant adaptations of radiological practices. The morphological image is now associated with functional and parametric information (infusion, diffusion spectroscopy, etc ...). In parallel, work combining acquisition and post-processing of data also open new applications (tractography, functional MRI, etc ....). Thus, more and more procedures are necessary to "integrate" these techniques for the diagnosis and adapt to new demands of clinicians.

The type of sequence and its associated parameters allow to directly influence the contrast of images, to characterize tissue compared to another and, ultimately, to highlight morphological or functional abnormality. Image quality can be optimized on each MRI, depending on the time available for the acquisition on the one hand, and on the desired resolution and contrast, on the other hand. For each sequence, it is therefore necessary to find a compromise that will optimize the diagnostic quality of the examination.

This optimization requires a phase focusing on healthy volunteers. It is therefore important that researchers and physicists could design on healthy volunteers, the best settings of all parameters for an image or spectrum. Indeed, it is always necessary to properly optimize every parameter choices before beginning a study of a cohort of patients.

In this context, the main objective of this study is to optimize sequences and imaging protocols to evaluate and validate the choice of parameters in healthy volunteers.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Quantitative assessment of acquired sequences

    Quality images, maps or spectra acquired with optimized parameters will be compared to standard acquisitions.

    This evaluation will be based on quantitative criteria extracted from computer analysis of the data : signal to noise ratio, contrast-to-noise, blur level, information sharing, collocation of areas set evidenced by the different techniques, etc...

    Measured: One day after data acquisitions

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Qualitative assessment of acquired sequences

    Quality images, maps or spectra acquired with optimized parameters will be compared to standard acquisitions.

    This evaluation will be based on statistical comparison of visual qualitative criteria by experts radiologists

    Measured: One day after data acquisitions

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Magnetic Resonance Imaging in people with Healthy Volunteers, run by Rennes University Hospital at 1 site in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 11 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Dec 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Quantitative assessment of acquired sequences (time frame: One day after data acquisitions). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 14 Dec 2022.
