Haemdall: Developing a Quantitative MRI Biomarker of Infratentorial Superficial Siderosis of the Central Nervous System
Recruiting now
Conditions studied: Superficial Siderosis
In brief
Haemdall: Using Medical Imaging to measure Brain Iron in Superficial Siderosis. This study is looking at a new way of using MRI scans to potentially measure the amount of iron on the surface of the brain. Iron build up in the brain is linked to how superficial siderosis develops. The study will also aim to see if there is a connection between the amount of iron in the brain and common superficial siderosis symptoms. Clinical tests will be used to measure symptoms including tests to measure your hearing, walking \& balance and participants' ability to remember, think and understand.
