High-resolution Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Scans to Look for Spread of Melanoma to Nearby Lymph Nodes

Completed · Phase 2

Conditions studied: Melanoma

In brief

The study is designed to see if a high-resolution MRI scan of lymph node areas near where a melanoma has been removed from the skin can pick up the spread of melanoma to those lymph nodes with a high degree of accuracy.
