Inclusion Criteria:
* Age greater than or equal to 18 years.
* Fluency in English
* Diagnosis of a histiocytic disorder as determined, in the opinion of the study PI, by a corroborating constellation of histopathology, clinical, and/or radiologic findings.
* Will undergo Standard of Care MRI.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Known intracranial involvement of histiocytosis (including dura, leptomeninges and brain parenchyma)
* Prior stroke or intracranial hemorrhage
* Other (non-histiocytic) intracranial neoplasm or neurological disorder deemed by the PI or Co-PI to confound neuroimaging studies (e.g., demyelinating disease)
* Existing diagnosis of a psychiatric disorder or untreated mood disturbance
* Existing diagnosis of a neurodegenerative disease, such as Alzheimer's disease
* Chronic or daily excessive alcohol consumption as determined by the PI.
* History of chronic use of corticosteroids, defined as continuous treatment for six months or longer at any time in the past
* History of severe claustrophobia or other contraindications to patient SOC brain MRI
* Prior intravenous cytarabine or cladribine
* Other current or prior treatments (e.g., high-dose chemotherapy for a different cancer) deemed by the PI or Co-PI to confound imaging studies or cognitive performance
