Diffusion MRI of the Abdomen

Description

The purpose of this research is to see if a new magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) method will be able to improve the images taken of the abdomen. This new method includes some changes to help avoid movements that may disrupt the images like breathing, heartbeats and other involuntary motion that occurs in the abdomen. This study will these methods in healthy volunteers and validate them in patients with known liver metastases in a single contrast-enhanced MRI visit.
