Low Field and High Field Magnetic Resonance Imaging Assessments on Pediatric Patients
- Conditions
- Conditions Requiring a Brain Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Head Computerized Tomography, or Head Ultrasound
- Interventions
- Diagnostic Test: Hyperfine MRI
- Registration Number
- NCT04629469
- Lead Sponsor
- Children's Mercy Hospital Kansas City
- Brief Summary
Hyperfine Research, Inc. has taken advantage of technological advances and developed an MRI device that is not only portable, but also uses a very-low magnetic field strength, \[less than 0.2 Tesla or approximately 10 times less\] than the field strength of conventional devices. This critical difference allows HRI to address MRI's core challenges by, first, operating at very low magnetic field strengths, eliminating the need for special rooms or shielding. Second, there are minimal safety concerns regarding ferrous metals near the system, as the field strength is too low to attract metal objects. The removal of metal, including items such as jewelry, belts, etc. from clothing and person, prior to being scanned, is unnecessary. Third, the design constraints faced by conventional MRI systems are lifted at low magnetic field and an open device has been designed to minimize anxiety that may come with claustrophobic patients. All of this is possible while still providing image quality that is clinically relevant to a wide variety of fields, including radiology, neurology, pediatrics, emergency medicine, and others.
