1. Ultrasound Microvessel Imaging of Transplant Kidney

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to investigate the value of ultrasound microvessel imaging for evaluation of transplant kidney health.

2. A Study to Assess Biomarkers of Cerebral Cavernous Angioma with Symptomatic Hemorrhage (CASH)

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to develop prognostic and diagnostic blood tests for symptomatic brain hemorrhage in patients diagnosed with cavernous angiomas, a critical clinical challenge in a disease affecting more than a million Americans. We further examine whether blood biomarkers can replace or enhance the accuracy of advanced imaging in association with lesional bleeding. The project tests a novel integrational approach of biomarker development in a mechanistically defined cerebrovascular disease, with a clinically relevant context of use.

3. Evaluating Highly Flexible (aka AIR) RF Coils for Patients Undergoing MR Imaging for Radiation Therapy Planning

   Rochester, Minn.

   To assess the quality of images obtained with a new RF (AIR) coil when compared to those obtained using FDA approved RF coils of patients undergoing MR imaging for radiation therapy treatment planning.

4. Magnetic Resonance Elastography of Traumatic Brain Injury

   Rochester, Minn.

   This purpose of this pilot study is to determine if there are changes in mild TBI detectible with MRE. This is the first time this novel technology has been applied to mild TBI and the anticipated results are theoretical.

5. Study to Validate Auto Registry and Integration of Ultrasound into Procedure

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to compare the accuracy of the Auto Registration capability on the EPIQ/PercuNav system against existing manual registration techniques using common anatomical landmarks, for image fusion.

6. Prospective Use of Philips iSuite for Interventional Procedures

   Rochester, Minn.

   This research study is being done to look at new MRI imaging guidance software, Philips Interventional iSuite software, to see if using will improve the physician's ability to quickly place and guide needle tip position for biopsies and ablations.

7. Ga-DOTATATE PET for Localization of Phosphaturic Mesenchymal Tumors in Patients with Tumor Induced Osteomalacia

   Rochester, Minn.

   This study aims to identify cases of FGF23-mediated oncogenic osteoomalacia in which the underlying phosphaturic mesenchymal has not been found and perform 68Ga-DOTATATE PET in these patients to localize the tumor.

8. A Study to Review Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Patients with Epilepsy

   Rochester, Minn.

   The primary purpose of this study is to compare the diagnostic utility of 7T MRI versus 3T MRI in the detection of subtle epileptogenic lesions in the brain.

9. A Study to Compare Conventional Heart Echo Measurements with Newer 2 and 3 Dimensional Measurements of Mechanical Heart Strain after Trastuzumab Infusion

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to compare conventional assessment of systolic ventricular function on a 2D heart echo with an assessment of more immediate changes in heart mechanics using 2D and 3D measurements of deformation and strain in patients undergoing infusion of Trastuzumab for breast cancer.

10. A Study of Clinical Evaluation of a PET/MR System

    Rochester, Minn.

    The first objective of this pilot research protocol is to evaluate the quality of PET from the SIGNA PET/MR system and to compare the quantitative accuracy of PET images from the PET/MR system to PET images from a standard PET/CT system. The second objective of this pilot research protocol is to compare the image quality from MRI images acquired on the SIGNA PET/MR to clinical MR images acquired on a standard 3.0T MRI system.

10. Focal Laser Ablation of Prostate Cancer Tumors

    Rochester, Minn.

    The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility and safety of MRI-guided focal laser ablation (Laser-Induced Interstitial Thermal Therapy, LITT) to treat low-risk native prostate cancer.
