MRI as Noninvasive Innovative Approach in Detection and Monitoring of Malignant Oral Lesions in Fanconi Anemia Patients

June 9, 2026 updated by: University of Minnesota
This study being done to learn more about the use of medical Magnetic Resonance Imaging (mMRI) and dedicated dental MRI (ddMRI) as a non-invasive diagnosing tool when evaluating potential oral cancerous and precancerous lesions in Fanconi Anemia patients.

Design Details

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
FA patients with a history of HNSCC
This group will receive both mMRI and ddMRI, with an exam, every 3-4 months for 2 years (up to 16 scan (+exam) visits).
mMRI and ddMRI
FA patients with no history of HNSCC
This group will receive two scans each of mMRI and ddMRI, with an exam, one year apart (up to 4 scan (+exam) visits).
