A separate IRB protocol (PI: Scott Reeder, MD, PhD; Title: Evaluation of Liver Hemodynamics by 5-point 4D Phase Contrast MRA; IRB Tracking Number: H-2010-0035) was used for the prospective recruitment and imaging of healthy volunteers and was approved by the University of Wisconsin - Madison Health Sciences Institutional Review Board. All IRB protocols were compliant with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).
