Treatments tested in this trial

  • Wave-CAIPI

    Other intervention

    "wave-CAIPI" technology, a data acquisition / reconstruction scheme designed to optimally exploit available information in modern multi-channel receivers and in multi-contrast/time-series data for improved image encoding

Treatment groups

300 Participants
are divided into 2 treatment groups
Group A: Primary Testing GroupExperimental treatment 1 intervention
Group B: Software Testing GroupExperimental treatment 1 intervention

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Wave-CAIPI validation

The outcome measure for this project will be that the rapid scan from Wave-CAIPI can provide equivalent diagnostic quality to that of standard clinical acquisitions which is performed at much slower speed. This will be assess using visual qualitative assessment by experienced radiologists on the project.
