MRI Imaging Study

So it is official...I have picked a date to participate in the MRI Imaging Study at Georgetown University.

Sunday May 14th will be spent participating in this study.

Hopefully I will stay healthy because last time I traveled to DC to participate I got bronchitis and was coughing so bad I could not participate because I would not have been able to lay still in the MRI machine.

Have any of my fellow UCD patients participated in this study?  Trying to figure out what to expect.

Remember that all of the research being backed by the National Urea Cycle Disorders Foundation is important and the more patients who participate the more likely we are to get results we can use and continue to hold onto our funding.
