MRI Thermal Imaging of Infants Undergoing Cooling for Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy(HIE)

Withdrawn before enrolling

Conditions studied: Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy

In brief

Hundreds of babies in the world are being treated with brain cooling to prevent brain injury after they lose oxygen at birth. This study will use the newly developed information from the magnet resonance image to determine the actual temperature of the brain. This will enable us to determine if the brain is being uniformly cooled and if techniques that provide cooling need to be changed to improve the injury prevention from cooling.

You may qualify if…

• Infants in the NICU who are treated with hypothermia for hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy and who are scheduled to have an MRI for evaluation of the extent of their injury.
• Parent and attending physician consent to perform evaluation of MRI thermography.

You may not qualify if…

• Infants too unstable to have MRI scan, defined by being on any cardiac pressor medications or more than 40% oxygen on the ventilator.
• Infants too active to obtain MRI without sedation.
