Low-field MRI for stroke patients in the ER
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial uses a low-field MRI machine to scan the brains of people with suspected stroke who come to the emergency room. It aims to see if this type of MRI can help doctors make faster and better decisions about treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years or older
- You are coming to the emergency room with a suspected stroke (the stroke team has been called)
- Your symptoms started less than 12 hours ago
- You are at Leiden University Medical Center during normal office hours
- You are already scheduled to have a standard head CT scan
- You (or a family member) can give permission for the study, either now or later

This trial tests how using MRI can help doctors diagnose acute stroke faster in the emergency room. It may lead to quicker treatment and better outcomes for stroke patients.
This study looks at how the brain and heart interact right after an acute ischemic stroke. It may help doctors better understand what happens in the first hours of stroke and improve monitoring or future treatments.
This study checks whether a quick, bedside (point-of-care) low-field MRI can help evaluate people with sudden stroke symptoms soon after they begin. It may help doctors diagnose and plan treatment faster for eligible patients.
This trial is testing a new type of MRI machine (field-cycling MRI) to see if it can give better images of the brain right after a stroke. It's for people with moderate to severe stroke symptoms who can have an MRI within 24 hours.
This trial tests a new way to treat ischemic stroke patients who arrive at the hospital 4.5 to 6 hours after symptoms start. It focuses on people eligible for a clot removal procedure, using advanced imaging to see if this approach helps them recover better.
This trial tests a special stroke unit for people having a severe ischemic stroke (a blood clot in the brain). It aims to see if treatment within 4.5 to 6 hours after symptoms start can improve recovery. You may join if you need a procedure to remove the clot.
