What the study is about

The primary goal of this project is to study the feasibility of a brain-dedicated PET insert for an MR scanner for simultaneous acquisition of PET/MR images of human brains. The study will also allow us to compare the imaging performance of the investigator's brain-dedicated PET insert against a commercial whole-body permanently integrated PET/MRI system using a common radiopharmaceutical.

Being studied: Injected radiotracer with PET Insert; Pre-injected group with PET insert

Conditions: Brain Disease

  • Subject is deemed healthy by the PI by via self-reported questionnaire

Exclusion Criteria

  • For patients who will be receiving a tracer injection, no known allergy to the imaging agents
  • Participant has a history of or current diagnosis of cancer
  • Participant is pregnant or nursing
  • Metallic implants (contraindicated for MRI)
