Optimizing Liver MRI Using Breath-Holding With and Without Oxygen
Sorry, not yet accepting patients
The goal of this interventional study (clinical trial) is to learn if different breath-holding techniques, with and without extra oxygen, can improve the quality of abdominal Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) images in healthy adults, ages 18-75. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does breath-holding at end-expiration improve image quality in abdominal MRI scans? - Does adding oxygen while breath-holding further reduce motion artifacts in abdominal MRI scans? Researchers will compare breath-holding with and without oxygen to see if using oxygen improves image quality during MRI scans. Participants will: - Be pre-screened for MRI safety and trained on breath-hold procedures - Have one non-contrast abdominal MRI scan at the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) China Basin Imaging Center - Use two different breath-holding techniques during the scan, with and without oxygen - Complete one study visit lasting about 45 minutes to 1 hour
