Multi-Organ Magnetic Resonance Elastography to Monitor Treatment Response in Light Chain (AL) Amyloidosis

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to perform multi-organ magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) in subjects with AL amyloidosis to determine feasibility of multi-organ MRE technique, and to perform multi-organ MRE in subjects with AL amyloidosis pre- and post-stem cell transplantation to obtain pilot data in patients who undergo stem cell transplantation for detection of changes post transplant.
