Imaging in Multiple Sclerosis Research

seeking healthy adults with no neurological conditions to take part in an MRI research study – healthy adults with no neurological conditions to take part in an MRI research study What is the purpose of this research? We are seeking healthy adults to take part in a research study involving magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We will investigate how MRI can be best used to assess brain changes in people with Multiple Sclerosis. To do this we will compare MRI scans of people who are healthy with those affected by MS. Participants will be asked to attend a single MRI scanning session at the Princess Alexandra Hospital Radiology Department. Each session will take approximately 2 hours. In recognition of your participation in the study, we would like to offer one $20 Coles/Myer voucher provided after the MRI scan. Please contact neuroimmuno.research@mater.uq.edu.au if you would like any further information or wish to discuss this study further.
