Heart disease can be detected in the hospital by Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (CMR)- a device that uses a large magnet. CMR is used to test how healthy the heart muscle is and how well the heart is pumping. We will test a new method to see how helpful it is to quickly get good pictures and if this is useful for testing the health of heart muscle in patients with heart disease.
This study will apply a novel imaging technique in patients with brain tumors to systematically evaluate the impact of various imaging parameters on image appearance, contrast, signal, and tumor sharpness, and to optimize the technique to maximize tumor visibility while minimizing scan time and image artifacts.
