Measuring brain blood flow in children having an MRI
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses MRI to look at blood flow in the brains of children who are already getting an MRI. It may help doctors understand how anesthesia affects brain blood flow, which could improve care for children in the future.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 6 months and 12 years old.
- Your child must be scheduled for an MRI of the brain.
- Your child must not have a brain tumor.
- Your child must not have abnormal blood vessels in the brain (vascular malformation).
- Your child must not have hydrocephalus (a buildup of fluid in the brain).

This study looks at how blood pressure medicines affect blood flow to the brain during general anesthesia for planned surgery. It may help doctors understand how to better manage care during operations.
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 looks at how well the brain uses oxygen during MRI with anesthesia. It tests two different anesthesia medicines to find the best way to keep children safe and comfortable during scans.
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 special MRI scan that measures blood flow in the brain to help determine how aggressive a child's brain tumor is. This could help doctors plan better treatment without needing a biopsy.
