Who this trial is looking for
This trial is looking for children with certain types of cancer to test a new imaging technique. Participants will undergo whole body MR and PET/MR scans to see how well they can detect the spread of disease without radiation exposure.
Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
You may be able to join if
- I have been diagnosed with a solid extra-cranial tumor.
- I am scheduled for or have completed a PET or PET/CT tumor staging procedure.

About This Trial
A research study on the diagnosis of spread of disease for children who have been diagnosed with solid tumors using a new whole body imaging technique and a new MR contrast agent (ferumoxytol). Standard tests that are used to determine the extent and possible spread of a child's disease include magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, computed tomography (CT), Positron Emission Tomography (PET) as well as…
