Magnetic Resonance Imaging for Detection of Peritoneal Mesothelioma

The first 5 patients will undergo HR-MRI scans using different sequence parameters. Results in these patients will then be assessed along with standard CT Imaging to determine which sequences appear to best identify peritoneal disease. The optimal HR-MRI sequences will then be used for the next 19 patients in the Testing phase to formally define their performance compared to standard imaging.

Standard CT scans will be performed for preoperative imaging in all patients.

Ultrasound Elastography will be performed using an FDA-Approved diagnostic GE ultrasound scanner
