Portable MRI for Pediatric Hypoxic Ischemic Brain Injury

Recruiting now · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Acute Brain Injury, Hypoxia, Brain, Ischemia, Brain, Brain Injuries, Trauma, Brain, Stroke

In brief

This study will evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of low field portable MRI (pMRI) for detection of hypoxic ischemic brain injuries in pediatric patients compared to clinically obtained neuroimaging to define pediatric diagnostic limitations and to determine the diagnostic capabilities of this neuroimaging modality following optimization of image acquisition. The results of this study will help determine optimal clinical implementation opportunities in pediatric patients.
