 Description: 
 collection of MRI scans for mathematical model development 
 Arm group label: 
 Healthy Volunteer MRI 
 Summary: 
 In this study, we plan to systematically analyze the motion of organs and tissues in the
abdomen, to understand the physical mechanisms of three-dimensional (3D) motion and
interactions of abdominal organs and tissues. This work will allow us to learn how to
mathematically model and predict abdominal organ motion. 
 Detailed description: 
 Specifically, we plan to conduct this study in 3 steps, in an order of increasing
complexity, starting with the (intra-fractional) respiratory only motion, then adding
intra-fractional GI motility motion, and finally the inter-fractional anatomical
variations (adding food intakes and fecal excretion). The research methods described will
allow the study team to develop the ability to estimate the motion of both tumor target
and critical organs given the patient's MRI, CBCT or x-ray fluoroscopy images on the day
of radiation treatment. 
 Criteria for eligibility: 
 Criteria: 
  
 Inclusion Criteria:
  -  No contraindications for MRI (e.g., unsafe MRI implanted devices, shrapnel, history
     of metal fragments in eyes, neurostimulators, body habitus, claustrophobia).
  -  May have pre-existing medical conditions provided they are capable of completing the
     exam and their condition is not expected to affect the physical tissue properties of
     the organs that will be imaged.
  -  Women of child-bearing potential must verbally confirm lack of pregnancy prior to
     signing consent
