Faster MRI for diagnosing belly pain in children
Part of Digestive system, Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.
This study is testing a faster MRI technique for children with abdominal pain. It uses artificial intelligence to make the MRI quicker, which may be more comfortable for the child while still giving clear images of the abdomen.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Children between the ages of 3 and 18 who have belly pain
- Already had a CT scan of the belly
- Parent or guardian agrees to the MRI and signs a consent form
- No metal implants, severe claustrophobia, or other MRI safety issues
- Child must be able to stay still for the scan

This study tests whether a new type of quick MRI scan can reliably detect acute cholecystitis—sudden inflammation of the gallbladder. If it works well, doctors may be able to diagnose this condition faster and help patients get treatment sooner.
This study tests a new, fast, and quiet AI-powered PET/MR scanner to take detailed pictures of children with suspected cancer. It aims to make the imaging experience easier and more comfortable for kids.
This study looks at a new way for general practitioners (GPs) to diagnose appendicitis in children with belly pain. It aims to find out if a special checklist or test can help GPs decide which children need to go to the hospital, potentially saving unnecessary trips.
This study checks whether a fast kidney MRI (“Quick MRI”) can help doctors in children who are being evaluated for kidney infection (pyelonephritis). It may help confirm kidney involvement without relying only on slower or more complex tests.
This study tests a portable CT scanner that can be brought to your child's bedside. It may help children who are too small or too sick to travel to the radiology department get the imaging they need.
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.
