		The purpose of this study is to test two imaging techniques, one called whole body diffusion weighted magnetic resonance  imaging (WB-DWI MRI), and another called F-18 3-deoxy-3-fluorothymidine PET (F-18-FLT PET). The goal is to see whether these imaging techniques would allow the study doctors to see changes in the size of a tumor earlier for patients with metastatic melanoma receiving MK-3475.
