1. Testing Lutetium Lu 177 Dotatate in Patients With Somatostatin Receptor Positive Advanced Bronchial Neuroendocrine Tumors

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this trial is to study the effect of lutetium Lu 177 dotatate compared to the usual treatment (everolimus) in treating patients with somatostatin receptor positive bronchial neuroendocrine tumors that have spread to other places in the body (advanced). Radioactive drugs, such as lutetium Lu 177 dotatate, may carry radiation directly to tumor cells and may reduce harm to normal cells. Lutetium Lu 177 dotatate may be more effective than everolimus in shrinking or stabilizing advanced bronchial neuroendocrine tumors.

2. A Long Term Study of Molecular and Structural Imaging in Atypical Alzheimer's Disease

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to learn more about amyloid and tau burden in the brain of patients with Atypical Alzheimer's Disease and how that burden may change over a two-year period.

3. A Study of Molecular Anatomic Imaging Analysis of Tau, the Primary Pathological Protein in Progressive Supranuclear Palsy

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to learn more about the distribution of the pathological protein tau in the living brains of patients with Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP).

4. A Study to Develop and Assess the Role of Artificial Intelligence in MR Fingerprinting of the Brain

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to develop an artificial intelligence (AI) system than can process MR images acquired using conventional acquisition schemes (spin echo, gradient echo, etc) and contrasts (T1, T2, T2*, PD) to identify the MR fingerprint of the tissue under interrogation.

5. A Study to Evaluate the Adaptive Image Receive (AIR) Coil System for Patients Undergoing MR Imaging Simulation

   Rochester, Minn.

   This study is designed to assess the ergonomics and ease of use of a new Adaptive Image Receive (AIR) coil system for patients undergoing MR imaging for radiation therapy treatment planning. 

6. 3D US Imaging of Acute Nerve Root Avulsions in Injuries of the Brachial Plexus

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to address a knowledge gap. Early diagnosis of nerve root avulsion injuries following brachial plexus trauma remain a barrier to the early treatment of these complex injuries.  Traditionally, an observation period of 6 months following brachial plexus injuries has been utilized to allow for reinnervation.  Reinnervation is not possible in the setting of nerve root avulsion from the spinal cord and waiting for reinnervation in this setting unnecessarily delays treatment and potentially compromises outcome.  Having the ability to provide a real time evaluation of nerve root integrity would obviate the need of other more expensive and complex advanced imaging such as CT/myelography, currently considered the good standard.

7. A Study of Measurable Ultrasound Imaging Biomarkers of Crohn's Disease

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness of a new multi-parameter ultrasound technology for evaluation of Crohn’s disease.

8. A Study to Assess the Effect of Radial Deviation on the Pronated Grip

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to describe a practical and reproducible radiographic view that can be used in the work-up of ulnocarpal impaction.

9. Contrast-Enhanced MR Angiography Method in Comparison to Current Methods in Healthy Volunteers

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to look at a contrast-enhanced MR angiography method in comparison to current methods. The contrast-enhanced method can generate images with more spatial detail and can be used to view a much larger region of the patient’s body than is presently possible.

10. Study to Assess Limited Magnetic Resonance Imaging in the Surveillance of Crohn's Disease

    Rochester, Minn.

    The purpose of this study is to compare a limited magnetic resonance enterography (MREN) to routine MREN in order to determine non-inferiority, missed findings, patient tolerance and impact on patient management.
