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 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 early study (Phase 1) tests whether an oral medicine called dexmedetomidine can help children feel calmer and be safely sedated for a brain MRI. It may help make MRI scans easier for young children who need general anesthesia.
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 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 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.
