Trial Outcomes & Findings for Pilot Study: Safety of a Customized MRI System for Neonatal Imaging (NCT NCT01522339)

NCT ID: NCT01522339

Last Updated: 2014-09-25

Results Overview

Heart rate and oxygen saturation will be measured every 15+/- 5 minutes. The infants' temperatures will be taken immediately before the MRI and again immediately after the MRI. A physical exam will be performed both immediately before and immediately after the MRI to assess for any physical changes.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Post MRI Scan for Each Infant

Population: Number of NICU MRI Images with Equal or Better Quality than Adult Scanner Images

The following measures will be individually evaluated and compared to similar images previously acquired on an adult scanner: Overall Study Quality, Motion, Spatial Resolution, Signal to Noise, and Contrast.
