Official Title: Feasibility Study of MRI Imaging on Parotid Gland Stimulation
Brief Summary: The aim of this study is to determine the feasibility of demonstrating the following physiologically-descriptive quantities ('metrics'): the volume of plasma/volume of tissue (νp), Apparent Diffusion Coefficient (ADC), the volume of extracellular extravascular space per volume of tissue (νe), and the contrast agent transfer coefficients (Ktrans) pre and post parotid stimulation in 10 healthy volunteers. Feasibility will be defined as 80% of volunteers achieving detectable signal changes in pre/post salivary MR images.
