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 uses a small, portable MRI machine to look for brain injury in children on ECMO (a life-support machine for the heart and lungs). The hope is to spot problems early so they can be treated sooner.
This study uses MRI scans of the brain to help doctors better understand and diagnose inherited conditions that affect children's brains. It may help find clearer signs of these diseases on imaging, which could lead to earlier and more accurate diagnoses.
This study uses MRI scans to look at heart problems in babies and children. It may help doctors understand the heart's structure better without using X-rays.
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.
This trial is testing a new, portable MRI machine that only scans your head. It may be easier and more comfortable than a standard MRI.
