MRI scans of the brain for children and young adults with leukemia
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study uses a special type of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to look at the brain of people with acute leukemia. It aims to see if this MRI technique can help doctors better understand the effects of leukemia and its treatment on the brain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between the ages of 0 and 30 years.
- You have been diagnosed with acute leukemia (such as ALL, AML, or a related condition).
- You have not started your second or later cycle of induction chemotherapy (this study needs to happen within the first two weeks of treatment).
- You do not have any metal implants or devices that are not safe for MRI, like a pacemaker, certain metal clips in the head, or metal in the eye.
- You are willing to sign a written consent form (or your parent or guardian can sign for you if you are under 18).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at what the bone marrow “microenvironment” is like in children newly diagnosed with acute leukemia, to better understand the disease. It also compares leukemia samples to samples from children having certain orthopedic surgery.
This study uses MRI scans to look at the heart and lungs of childhood cancer survivors to see if chemotherapy caused any long-term changes. It may help doctors better understand and manage late effects after treatment for leukemia or lymphoma.
This Phase 1 study uses special whole-body imaging scans (PET with CT, plus MRI) to look for signs of acute myeloid leukemia outside the bone marrow. It may help doctors better see where leukemia is and guide future care.
This study uses a non-invasive brain scan called MEG to look at brain activity in children with neurological conditions, such as autoimmune encephalitis, multiple sclerosis, or stroke. It aims to better understand these diseases and could help improve future treatments.
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 looks back at medical records of children and young adults (up to age 20) who had brain MRIs to understand developmental delays. It aims to gather information that could help improve care for kids with similar conditions.
