1. A Study of the Mayo Clinic College of Medicine Ultrasound System

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is is to assess the EPIQ-Affiniti and NG Compact ultrasound systems in a clinical environment and collect clinical data and feedback when compared to the site’s standard ultrasound system.

2. A Study of Measurable Ultrasound Imaging Biomarkers of Crohn's Disease

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness of a new multi-parameter ultrasound technology for evaluation of Crohn’s disease.

3. MR-Guided Cryoablation of Prostate Bed Recurrences

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this research is to see if MR-guided cryoablation can effectively treat prostate tumor recurrences.

4. A Study to Develop and Assess the Role of Artificial Intelligence in MR Fingerprinting of the Brain

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to develop an artificial intelligence (AI) system than can process MR images acquired using conventional acquisition schemes (spin echo, gradient echo, etc) and contrasts (T1, T2, T2*, PD) to identify the MR fingerprint of the tissue under interrogation.

5. A Study to Evaluate the Adaptive Image Receive (AIR) Coil System for Patients Undergoing MR Imaging Simulation

   Rochester, Minn.

   This study is designed to assess the ergonomics and ease of use of a new Adaptive Image Receive (AIR) coil system for patients undergoing MR imaging for radiation therapy treatment planning. 

6. 3D US Imaging of Acute Nerve Root Avulsions in Injuries of the Brachial Plexus

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to address a knowledge gap. Early diagnosis of nerve root avulsion injuries following brachial plexus trauma remain a barrier to the early treatment of these complex injuries.  Traditionally, an observation period of 6 months following brachial plexus injuries has been utilized to allow for reinnervation.  Reinnervation is not possible in the setting of nerve root avulsion from the spinal cord and waiting for reinnervation in this setting unnecessarily delays treatment and potentially compromises outcome.  Having the ability to provide a real time evaluation of nerve root integrity would obviate the need of other more expensive and complex advanced imaging such as CT/myelography, currently considered the good standard.

7. Training of Physicians in Critical Care Ultrasonography (CCUS)

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to assess the improvement in physician’s knowledge and skill sets in ultrasonography after the implementation of simulation-based educational program.  

8. Improvements in Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced MR Angiography and Perfusion

   Rochester, Minn., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   The overall purpose is to study how a variety of technological approaches in Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be used to provide improved performance contrast-enhanced MR imaging as used for angiography and perfusion.  These include but are not limited to improvements in: (i) receiver coils; (ii) pulse sequences for data acquisition; (iii) methods for image reconstruction; (iv) algorithms for deriving MRI-based quantitative parameters and biomarkers.

9. A Study to Assess the Effect of Radial Deviation on the Pronated Grip

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to describe a practical and reproducible radiographic view that can be used in the work-up of ulnocarpal impaction.

10. Contrast-Enhanced MR Angiography Method in Comparison to Current Methods in Healthy Volunteers

    Rochester, Minn.

    The purpose of this study is to look at a contrast-enhanced MR angiography method in comparison to current methods. The contrast-enhanced method can generate images with more spatial detail and can be used to view a much larger region of the patient’s body than is presently possible.
