Multicenter ALS Imaging Study

Recruiting

The purpose of the study is to test new biomarkers of ALS using MRI scans at 3 Tesla (3T). A biomarker is a measurable characteristic that can be used as an indicator of a particular disease state. Identifying biomarkers in ALS will help test new treatments and may help us make diagnoses earlier.
