Test for brain blood flow imaging in children with artery disease
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study uses a special MRI method to measure how much blood is reaching the brain in children with certain artery problems. It may help doctors better assess these conditions during routine care and imaging.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a child or teen age 0 to 18
- You have one of these diagnoses: Moya-moya, sickle cell disease, or an artery stroke/infarction (acute or chronic)
- Your medical team needs an MRI (MR) scan for care, including the usual ASL brain blood-flow sequences
- A parent/guardian has legal permission, and the patient agrees (or does not oppose) to take part
- You can safely have MRI, meaning you do not have common MRI safety problems
- You can stay still enough during the special brain scan so the images are not blurred

This study uses a brain MRI with a special blood-vessel scan to see how circulation changes after a life-support machine called ECMO in young children. It may help doctors better understand what happens in the brain after ECMO and improve care.
This study uses MRI to look at blood flow in the brains of children who are already getting an MRI. It may help doctors understand how anesthesia affects brain blood flow, which could improve care for children in the future.
This study tests a new imaging agent that may help doctors see how blood flows in the brain after a stroke or mini-stroke. It could help guide treatment for people with severe narrowing in one of the main arteries in the neck or head.
This study uses a special MRI scan to measure blood flow to the eye and check how consistently the results match over time. It may help doctors better assess certain optic nerve problems, especially in people without major cardiovascular risk factors.
This study tests different brain imaging methods (MRI and PET/CT) to better understand blood flow and disease activity in people with Moyamoya disease. The goal is to learn more about the condition and possibly find new ways to see how active the disease is.
This study uses a special light-based device and MRI to measure how blood vessels in the brain respond to changes. It may help researchers better understand blood flow in people with and without sickle cell disease.
