Inviting HEALTHY PARTICIPANTS for MRI (of the abdomen) & Metabolism testing aged 25-85 (without history of pancreatitis or diabetes) to compare with our pancreatitis and diabetes patients.

WHAT THIS INVOLVES:

During your visit, you will first undergo a 45min abdominal MRI scan to assess your pancreas. This will take place at CAMRI (Centre for Advanced MRI); once completed you will receive a CD with your images. Then we will proceed to our COSMOS Clinic for metabolism testing:
• A small plastic cannula will be inserted in your arm for sequential blood collection
• Your HbA1c, fasting blood glucose, lipid profile, and insulin levels will be measured
• You will then be asked to have a vanilla flavoured nutrient drink every 15min; following each drink we will collect blood samples to run further tests to monitor your glucose metabolism.
• You will also be required to complete a few questionnaires.

All the above tests will be conducted at NO CHARGE to you.
The entire visit will take no more than 3 hours and we will be reimburse you with a $40.00 petrol voucher for your time and participation
Please note: You are required to come fasting – nothing to eat/drink for the previous 8 hours; water is fine and highly recommended as it aids blood collection.

LOCATION and PARKING:

The Centre for Advanced MRI is located within the University Of Auckland School of Medicine, opposite to Auckland City Hospital; underground parking is available – access from Boyle Crescent.

If you would like to participate or obtain more information please contact:
