Inclusion Criteria: * Patients hospitalized in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit, Cardiac Intensive Care Unit, or the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit * Ages 0-17 years at study enrollment * Acute neurologic deficit suspected secondary to Hypoxic Ischemic Brain Injury (HIBI) or patients at high risk for HIBI Exclusion Criteria: * Pregnancy * Any patient who has a contraindication to having an MRI Patients with a passive or active implant will: * First be reviewed on MRISafety.com to determine MR conditionality * If the device is listed as Conditional or Unsafe for a 1.5T or a 3T, the device will then be reviewed by the MRI Safety Officer or MRI Physician Section chief to determine true conditionality for the portable MRI
What this study is about
In the sponsor’s own words, from the registry.
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.
