Summary

This study tests whether different ways of holding your breath, with or without extra oxygen, can reduce blurring in MRI images of the liver. Ten healthy adults will have one MRI scan while trying two breath-hold techniques. The goal is to find a simple way to get clearer images without needing contrast dye.
