Two types of MRI scans in children
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study compares two MRI scan settings (a lower and higher magnetic field) in children to see how well they work for pediatric patients. It may help doctors choose the best MRI approach for kids without changing any care beyond the scan itself.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is receiving care as an inpatient at Children’s Mercy Hospital Kansas City (Adele Hall).
- Your child’s age is from birth (0 days) up to 22 years.
- The study will not add any new sedation (sleep medicine) for the MRI.
- If your child already received sedation, the study will not change it or adjust it for the study.
- Your child is able to have an MRI safely (no MRI-incompatible implanted devices or devices that can’t be removed for the scan).

This study checks how well a special MRI machine setting (low-field MRI) works for outpatients who are children. It may help your child get an MRI without extra sedation added for the study.
This study tests whether a small, portable MRI machine can take pictures of the brain at the bedside for children with brain injuries from lack of oxygen or blood flow. It may help doctors see the injury sooner and guide care without moving the child.
This study uses a portable MRI to look for brain injuries in children on ECMO (a heart-lung support machine). It may help doctors detect problems early and improve care.
This study uses MRI scans to get detailed images of the heart in infants and children who have or might have congenital heart disease. It aims to help doctors see heart problems more clearly.
This trial studies how to make MRI images better for children with epilepsy that starts in one area of the brain. It may help doctors use brain MRI more effectively when evaluating where seizures begin.
This study tests a new simulation program to help young children (ages 3–6) prepare for an MRI scan. The goal is to make the experience less stressful and more successful.
