Type of Human Subjects Involvement:

Collection of Bodily Materials:

Collection of personally identifiable bodily materials (blood or blood products, cells, tissue, organs, waste).

This proposal relates to the use of normal and diseased human anatomical specimens from cadavers imaged with the Multiple Energy Computed Tomography (MECT) System at the BNL National Synchrotron Light Source (NSLS). The studies will provide information about the viability of MECT to be used for certain imaging applications. We expect to use two anatomical specimens in a single beam time, which is available on the average of eight times a year.

There are no risks to human subjects in this project.
