Whole-Body MRI in Suspected Victims of Abusive Head Trauma

NCT02309216 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 8

Last updated 2017-05-10

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose: to pilot whole-body MRI scanning in infants who are already getting brain MRI for suspected child abuse

Research design: prospective, blinded reading of Whole-Body MRI (WB-MRI) images during the routine care of the hospitalized infant with comparison to routine radiographic skeletal survey images

Procedures to be used: whole-body MRI images

Risks and potential benefits: no additional risk (the infant will be receiving and MRI of their brain as part of routine care, the additional images will be obtained at the same time without additional sedation); benefits to the infant include the identification of injuries which would have otherwise been missed by routine care importance of knowledge that may reasonably be expected to result: results from this study will potentially influence the use of radiographic skeletal survey and decrease the radiation exposure to infants being evaluated for suspected child abuse.
