Study Summary

This trial will compare Zero Echo Time MRI against CT in order to see which is more effective in diagnostics.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for children and teenagers aged 0-18 who may have craniosynostosis, a condition affecting skull growth. They must be considered for potential skull reconstruction surgery and able to undergo both MRI and CT scans within a specific timeframe.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study aims to compare the effectiveness of Zero Echo Time Magnetic Resonance Imaging (ZTE MRI) with traditional CT scans in diagnosing craniosynostosis in pediatric patients.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
There are generally no side effects associated with undergoing ZTE MRI or CT scans. However, there's a small risk of discomfort during the procedure and exposure to radiation with CT scans.
