Brief summary
This study is being conducted for evaluation of 3D Synthetic MRI (SyMRI 15, 3D) for neuroimaging,
Detailed description
This study is a prospective, blinded, multi-center, multi-reader clinical study that is statistically powered for demonstrating non-inferiority of synthetic 3D MR images compared to conventional MR images with respect to sensitivity and specificity of pathological findings. The study consists of three parts: * Clinical MR acquisition, * Synthetic MR post-processing * Blinded image evaluation of conventional and synthetic images for each subject. The study will enroll eligible subjects with an already scheduled brain MRI and also healthy volunteers, that meet applicable site MR safety criteria. The routine MRI scan will include approximately 5-20 minutes extra time for the additional images to be taken. This time will be added to the length of the scheduled scan. It is only the time in the MRI scanner that will differ from standard procedures, no other examinations will be performed. The study consists of one visit, without additional follow-up.

Masking description
For each subject, conventional and synthetic images will be assessed by blinded, experienced neuroradiologists who will assess the images with regards to radiological findings, image quality, legibility of anatomical structures, and artifacts. The readings will be separated into two reading sessions with a 4-week memory-washout period.
Intervention model description
Subjects will be enrolled from the general imaging population scheduled for an MRI of the brain and healthy volunteers, using the scanner available at the investigational sites. A conventional MRI scan of the brain is taken, and an additional sequence that is processed into synthetic MR images. The conventional and the synthetic MR images from the same subject is compared.

Inter-method Agreement (Full Analysis Set)
Inter-method agreement between the different reader's assessment of pathological finding, as well as radiological finding classes, on the full analysis set. Each image was evaluated only once per reader. The images were split between two readings, with a wash-out period of 4 weeks in between. Both readings contained both types of images, synthetic and conventional. The agreement was evaluated for all images, independent of reading period and image type, using overall agreement, Fleiss' kappa coefficient, and Gwet's AC1 coefficient. The first reading begun after all image processing was complete.
