Participant Flow

Protocol enrollment was 35 but data are only available for 34 participants - Study team believes one participant's scan was never completed with MRF but because the study was terminated in 2018 with no further access to data this cannot be confirmed.

NF1-associated Optic Pathway Glioma (OPG)
Patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) associated OPG will be imaged by magnetic resonance imaging and magnetic resonance fingerprinting Magnetic Resonance Imaging: Patients will have a scan of soft tissue using magnetic field and radio frequency pulses. Magnetic Resonance Fingerprinting: Magnetic resonance fingerprinting (MRF) uses pseudo-randomized variation in acquisition parameters to generate a multi-parametric data signal that can be compared to signal patterns calculated from all possible combinations of parameters of interest. The closest match in signal patterns yields the parameters used to calculate the theoretical signal, in each voxel, and thus a map of all parameters of interest for that tissue. This process allows for rapid quantitation of MR relaxometry values (T1 and T2).

NF1-associated Optic Pathway Glioma (OPG)
n=3 Participants
Patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) associated OPG will be imaged by magnetic resonance imaging and magnetic resonance fingerprinting Magnetic Resonance Imaging: Patients will have a scan of soft tissue using magnetic field and radio frequency pulses. Magnetic Resonance Fingerprinting: Magnetic resonance fingerprinting (MRF) uses pseudo-randomized variation in acquisition parameters to generate a multi-parametric data signal that can be compared to signal patterns calculated from all possible combinations of parameters of interest. The closest match in signal patterns yields the parameters used to calculate the theoretical signal, in each voxel, and thus a map of all parameters of interest for that tissue. This process allows for rapid quantitation of MR relaxometry values (T1 and T2).
