Portable MRI for children with oxygen-related brain injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether a small, portable MRI scanner can safely take pictures of the brain in seriously ill children who may have brain injury from lack of oxygen. It could help doctors diagnose and treat these children faster, without moving them from the ICU.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be in the hospital in an intensive care unit (ICU).
- Your child must be between birth and 17 years old.
- Your child must have new signs of brain injury from lack of oxygen, or be at high risk for it.
- Your child cannot be pregnant.
- Your child must be able to have an MRI safely, or a doctor will check any implanted device to make sure.

This study uses a small, portable MRI machine to look for brain injury in children on ECMO (a life-support machine for the heart and lungs). The hope is to spot problems early so they can be treated sooner.
This study looks at children and young adults who have brain damage from a severe head injury or lack of oxygen at birth. It aims to learn more about these conditions and how to help patients.
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 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 is testing a new, portable MRI machine that can be used right at your bedside. It aims to see if it can take clear pictures of the brain for people with strokes, brain conditions, or symptoms of a brain problem.
This study uses a portable MRI machine to look for brain injury in people who remain unconscious after their heartbeat is restored (ROSC) from a cardiac arrest. If you are having a standard MRI and being treated with temperature control, you may be eligible.
