The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique called whole-body MRI, combined with a computer program, in children and adolescents (5-18 years old) with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF-1). The whole-body MRI with computer program is a technique that looks head-to-knee for suspicious tumors and can be completed more quickly than the standard MRI, even with patient movement. Individuals with NF-1 are recommended to have one whole-body MRI between 16-20 years old. Researchers aim to determine whether it is feasible to complete whole-body MRIs, using this novel technique paired with the computer program, to predict cancerous and non-cancerous tumors in young patients affected by NF-1.
