Measuring blood flow in infant lung veins
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses special MRI scans to measure blood flow in the veins of the lungs in babies, aiming to help doctors better understand and treat conditions like chronic lung disease or abnormal vein connections.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be under 18 years old (for healthy children) or under 12 months old (for high-risk babies).
- Your baby must weigh more than 3 kilograms (about 6.6 pounds).
- You or your baby must already be scheduled for a cardiac MRI with a special contrast dye called ferumoxytol as part of routine care.
- If your baby has chronic lung disease, they must be on a breathing tube or tracheostomy.
- If your baby has had surgery for abnormal pulmonary veins, they must be under 12 months old.
- A parent or guardian must give permission.

This trial uses a special iron-based contrast agent called ferumoxytol during an MRI scan to get clearer pictures of your veins. It's for people who may have vein blockages or other vein issues that need better imaging.
This study tests a new MRI technique to measure blood flow in the heart without invasive procedures. It may help doctors better understand and manage congenital heart conditions.
This study looks at how well a new device works to control blood flow to the lungs in children with heart problems. It reviews medical records of children who had this device placed in their lung arteries.
This study uses a noninvasive scan that measures electrical signals across the chest to better understand breathing and heart-related circulation problems. It may help doctors learn what to monitor and how conditions like lung/airway pressure and vessel narrowing progress.
This study uses a special MRI that can show inflammation in the lungs. It looks at healthy children and children with mild cystic fibrosis to test if the scan can detect early changes. If you join, you will breathe in a special gas during the MRI.
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.
