A Study Of Magnetic Resonance Technique For Measuring Density In A Human Liver Treated With Radiotherapy Beam
Scottsdale/Phoenix, AZ
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of radiation on normal liver tissue. This will help us develop MRI-based dose range monitoring techniques for liver Stereotactic Body Radio Therapy.

Cavernous Malformation Prospective Registry
Rochester, MN
Investigators are trying to learn more about why cavernous malformations form. In addition, investigators are trying to determine which cavernous malformations might cause future symptoms and which ones may be more benign. To do this, investigators are trying to look at various lifestyle factors, medication use, and other medical problems and how they influence what happens over time

A Clinical Use Application for the Humanitarian Use Device Exemption Use Protocol of TheraSphere for Treatment of Unresectable Primary or Secondary Liver Neoplasia
Eau Claire, WI
This protocol allows multiple treatments with TheraSphere® that may be delivered on an outpatient basis. Patients may receive a single dose to a liver lobe or segmental treatment delivered as a sequence of treatments approximately 30-90 days apart. The principal clinician, working with a multidisciplinary team, will develop a specific treatment plan for each patient, based upon the presenting condition of the patient, the vascular anatomy and the desired goal of treatment.

Multi-phase Dual Energy for Quantitative and Radiologic Evaluation of Chronic Liver Disease
Rochester, MN
The purpose of this study is to assess the combined impact of post-processing methods that quantify potential biomarkers of chronic liver disease (AEF, fECS) and that improve iodine signal (vMono+) on detecting liver fibrosis and hepatic masses or esophageal varices, in comparison to routine contrast-enhanced liver CT.

Study Of Trial Readiness In Cavernous Angiomas With Symptomatic Hemorrhage (CASH)
Rochester, MN
The purpose of this study is to set up the infrastructure for future clinical trials for patients with cavernous malformations. To do this we will be assessing the quality of MRI and data collection from patients with cavernous malformations across multiple sites in the country. At Mayo, we will be looking at new MRI "sequences" in addition to the usual sequences to see if that helps determine which cavernous malformations may bleed again.
