About this trial

The main aim of the study is to build and test a cardiac-specific coil purposely assembled in house to suit the FFC-MRI whole-body prototype and to test if it could be used for clinical cardiac scans in human subject populations.

Eligibility criteria

This trial accepts healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Participant who is willing and able to give informed consent for participation in the study

Healthy volunteers willing to give informed consent for participation in the study

Patients diagnosed with a previous myocardial infarction

Disqualifiers

Unwillingness to participate

Claustrophobia

Contraindication to MRI scanning such as implantable cardiac devices

Participants who have had a previous myocardial infarction in the past of which they may not be aware and this is discovered whilst being scanned on the 3T MRI scanner, or who may have any other cardiology condition that they were previously unaware will not be included in the healthy control group, even if they present themselves to us as "healthy" at the time of the study visit
