Interventions
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
MRI procedures will include a 20-25 minute exam with periodic breath holds. The imaging series will be conducted twice to assess repeatability.
Ultrasound (US)
In each ultrasound exam, each participant will be scanned by twice by the same sonographer to evaluate intra-operator variability (repeatability). Each exam will take approximately 60 minutes to complete.
