MRI breathing scan in NICU babies using a special gas
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial uses a special MRI breathing scan (with a safe, trace gas) to look at how babies’ lungs are developing. It may help doctors understand lung function and recovery in NICU infants.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby must be in the NICU as an inpatient and be medically stable enough for an MRI.
- Your baby should be able to keep body temperature stable for the MRI, as decided by the NICU team.
- Your baby must be 0 to 6 months old at the time of the scan.
- Your baby needs a low-to-moderate oxygen plan: either nasal oxygen up to 2 liters/min, or higher support like high-flow nasal cannula/CPAP/RAM cannula as long as the oxygen level is not too high.
- Your baby’s oxygen level (SpO2) must stay above 88% while on the current oxygen plan for at least 24 hours.
- Your baby should not need recent sedation/anaesthesia, ECMO, or strong medicines that support blood pressure or heart rhythm.

This study uses MRI (a special scan) to look at babies with bronchopulmonary dysplasia, a long-term breathing condition that can happen after being in the NICU. It aims to learn more about what’s happening in the lungs and how MRI can be used safely in these babies.
This trial tests a special MRI scan that uses an inhaled, tracer gas to create clearer pictures of how your lungs work. It may help doctors see lung function more precisely in children and adults who can safely complete the scan.
This early trial uses a special “breathing” MRI scan to create a detailed picture of how air moves in the lungs. It’s mainly a calibration study to set up the scan correctly, and you may help improve the test for future use.
This Phase 2 study uses a special type of MRI with inhaled gas to measure how well your lungs work. It may help researchers better understand lung function in healthy people and in people with lung disease.
This Phase 1 study tests a lung scan that uses a special gas and MRI to measure how well your lungs work. It includes healthy volunteers and people with lung disease to see how well the scan works and how safe it is.
This trial uses a special breathing MRI (you breathe a gas mixture) to measure how well your lungs work. It studies healthy kids and people with lung conditions like cystic fibrosis or asthma, and it may help researchers better understand lung function and flare-ups.
