Arm Description

Confirmed diagnosis of primary or recurrent gynecological (GYN) malignancies.

Per protocol, patient undergoes one scan on visit day 1 and is followed for up to 4 years.

Benign gynecological (GYN) fibroids. Routine clinical standard of care pelvic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) along with advanced techniques Magnetic Resonance Fingerprinting (MRF) and Q-space Trajectory Imaging (QTI) will be performed using a clinical 3T MRI scanner lasting 30-45 minutes with an additional 10-15 minutes for the advanced scans. Per protocol, patient undergoes one scan on visit day 1 and is followed for up to 4 years.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Number of Patients With Feasible Imaging
Feasibility is determined by both A) having evaluable images in terms of quality according to radiology review and B) having a complete set of tumor metrics [MRF (T1 and T2 relaxation values) and QTI (total mean kurtosis MKT, microscopic anisotropy MKA, isotropic heterogeneity MK1, fractional anisotropy FA, microscopic fractional anisotropy µFA)]

Secondary Outcome Measures

MRF T1 Relaxation Value
T1 relaxation values (unit: milliseconds) will be extracted from regions-of-interest based on anatomical structures using MRF.
MRF T2 Relaxation Value
T2 relaxation values (unit: milliseconds) will be extracted from regions-of-interest based on anatomical structures in using MRF.
QTI Total Mean Kurtosis
Total mean kurtosis evaluated by established methods using QTI
QTI Microscopic Anisotropy MKA
MKa (normalized variance due to anisotropic heterogeneity, unitless) will be extracted from regions-of-interest based on anatomical structures in using advanced diffusion weighted sequences with QTI
QTI Isotropic Heterogeneity MK1
Isotropic heterogeneity MK1 value evaluated by established methods using QTI
QTI Fractional Anisotropy FA
Fractional anisotropy FA value evaluated by established methods using QTI
QTI Microscopic Fractional Anisotropy µFA
Microscopic fractional anisotropy µFA value evaluated by established methods using QTI
Median Overall Survival
Time from enrollment to death or last follow-up (censored) estimated using Kaplan-Meier methods

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This research is being done to test new MRI methods called Magnetic Resonance Fingerprinting and Q-space Trajectory Imaging in gynecological abnormalities. The purpose of this research study is to evaluate if these new MRI methods can give additional information in characterizing gynecological tumors compared with conventional MRI.
Detailed Description
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a safe and painless test that uses a magnetic field and radio waves to produce detailed images of the body's organs and structures. This research is being done to test new MRI methods called Magnetic Resonance Fingerprinting (MRF) and Q-space Trajectory Imaging (QTI) in gynecological abnormalities. The purpose of this research study is to evaluate if these new MRI methods can give additional information in characterizing gynecological tumors compared with conventional MRI In this research study, the investigators are: Investigating the use of MR imaging in gynecological tumors on imaging quality and comparison of tumor or fibroid structures and normal anatomy Investigating whether new MRI methods could help in characterizing the tumor and give information about the expected outcome

Intervention Type
Device
Intervention Name(s)
Magnetic Resonance Fingerprinting (MRF)
Intervention Description
In MRF, multiple tissue properties are acquired simultaneously.
Intervention Type
Device
Intervention Name(s)
Q-space Trajectory Imaging (QTI)
Intervention Description
By using q-space trajectory encoding and a diffusion tensor distribution model, QTI improves the discrimination of diffusivity, shape, and orientation of diffusion microenvironments and therefore carries major potential for imaging the tumor microenvironment.
Intervention Type
Device
Intervention Name(s)
Magnetic Resonance Imaging Machine (MRI)
Intervention Description
MRI is routinely used in gynecologic malignancies for its ability to depict the extent of disease at diagnosis providing guidance in staging and treatment planning.
