About this study
In the past data has indicated that Gadolinium based contrast may specify brain tissue intensity in subsequent MRI exams. This study is being conducted to try and determine normal ranges of specific tissue ratios for old and new 1.5 and 3T systems. We are hoping that this study allows us to develop a normal range intensity/ratio profiles for specific tissue regions of interest in the brain.
