Outcome measures
Primary outcome
- Functional and structural Magnetic Resonance Images, i.e. (f)MRI
- Metabolic Magnetic Resonance Spectra (MRS)
- Ultrasound Images (US)
The specific imaging technique will be specified in the project specific
amendment.
Secondary outcome
This study protocol doesn't describe secundary parameters. However, in addition
to the primary study parameters, general parameters characteristics of the
subjects will be collected such as: age, gender, ethnicity and handedness.
Background summary
The Department of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine (RADNG) conducts basic and
applied research in radiodiagnostic imaging, image analysis and in-vivo
metabolism. The scientific progress in these fields are driven by the
development of complex imaging techniques to obtain structural and metabolic
information, and the development of optimal image analysis techniques. Although
the department also applies techniques in which ionizing radiation is used,
this METC submission is restricted to techniques without ionizing radiation
exposure, i.e. MRI, MRS and US.
Study objective
Radiodiagnostics strongly depends on high image or data quality, well-performed
image analyses and information on how pathology appears on the image or data
acquired. The objectives of the study are:
- In order to improve radiodiagnostic imaging, it will be investigated if
images/data obtained by new or adjusted techniques (software or hardware) have
a higher diagnostic quality than those obtained using conventional methods.
- To interpret pathological images, reference images of healthy volunteers will
be acquired to define (quantitative) differences between pathology and normal
Study design
Multiple observational explorative studies in humans in two types of studies:
- Image or data acquisition in healthy volunteers or patients
- Extension of a clinical examination of a patient with less than 15 minutes of
the normal duration
to test the effect of new techniques (adjusted software or hardware) on
image/data quality.
Study burden and risks
The risk associated with participation can be considered negligible- minimal
and the burden as minimal. No pharmacological nor (otherwise) invasive or
intrusive manipulations will be applied. No direct (health-treatment) benefit
is associated with participation.
