Study Summary

This trial-MRI uses very low magnetic field strength, 10x less than conventional MRI's, making it portable and with no special room or shielding needed. There are minimal safety concerns and patients don't need to remove metal objects or clothing. The open device design minimizes anxiety for claustrophobic patients.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for pediatric patients aged from birth to 22 years at CMH Adele Hall. It's not suitable for those who need extra sedation or have non-MRI safe implants that can't be removed.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests a new portable MRI device by Hyperfine Research, which operates at very low magnetic fields and doesn't require special rooms or metal removal, aiming to reduce patient anxiety.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since the device uses a much lower magnetic field than conventional MRIs, there are minimal safety concerns related to ferrous metals and no significant side effects are expected.
