Gene Therapy Clinical Trials

Differentiation of Bone Sarcomas and Osteomyelitis With Ferumoxytol-Enhanced MRI

This pilot trial studies the differentiation of bone sarcomas and osteomyelitis with ferumoxytol-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Imaging procedures that allow doctors to more accurately differentiate between malignant bone sarcomas and osteomyelitis may help in diagnosing patients correctly and may result in more timely treatment.

Stanford is currently not accepting patients for this trial.
