MRI scan evaluation for children without added sedation
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be an outpatient at Children’s Mercy Hospital Kansas City (Adele Hall Radiology).
- Your child’s age must be from birth (0 days) to 22 years.
- The study does not give extra sedation, and it will not change any sedation already given for other reasons.
- Your child must be able to safely have an MRI scan.
- Your child can’t have an implanted device that is not safe for MRI, or a device that can’t be removed for the MRI.

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.
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 trial tests a liquid sedation medicine (called dexmedetomidine) that your child drinks before an MRI. The goal is to see if it works as well as general anesthesia to keep children still during the scan, with fewer side effects.
This study uses a special type of brain scan (magnetoencephalography, or MEG) that doesn't need helium gas to see brain activity in children with brain tumors. The goal is to see if this scan can help doctors plan surgery or treatment better.
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 how to take and analyze MRI scans in a safer, more useful way. If you can have an MRI comfortably and safely, your scans may help improve imaging methods for future patients.
