Measuring brain blood flow in children during MRI
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study uses MRI scans to measure blood flow in the brains of children during routine brain imaging. It helps doctors better understand normal brain blood flow in children.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 6 months and 12 years old.
- Your child is already scheduled to have an MRI of the brain.
- Your child does not have a known brain tumor.
- Your child does not have a tangle of abnormal blood vessels (vascular malformation) in the brain.
- Your child does not have hydrocephalus (water on the brain).

This study looks at oxygen levels in the brains of children and young adults (birth to 18 years) during a standard MRI. The goal is to learn more about how the brain works, and it only adds a few minutes to your child's regular MRI scan.
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.
This study uses repeated MRI scans to measure how blood flow to the brain changes over time in people with certain neurosurgical conditions. It aims to better understand brain circulation changes, which may help doctors plan care more effectively.
This study uses a safe, painless ultrasound to measure blood flow in the brains of newborns (both full-term and preterm) in the first 48 hours after birth. The goal is to understand how blood flow differs in these babies, which may help improve care.
This study uses MRI to measure oxygen in the brains of children (birth to 7 years) who need anesthesia for a routine scan. It aims to learn more about brain blood flow in different conditions.
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.
