Patients will be asked to come to the Center for Magnetic Resonance Research (CMRR) at the University of Minnesota. Researchers will interview the patient and describe procedures and risks. An intravenous (IV) line will be placed in an upper extremity for infusing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast dye. Baseline MRI scans will be done. These MRI measurements will be compared with clinical, radiological and pathological findings (the gold standard).
Follow-up contact will occur within one year after the MRI to determine whether a pathology report is available.
