New scan could transform care for babies with brain fluid disorder

NCT ID NCT06693752

Summary

This study is testing a special type of ultrasound scan to see if it can safely and effectively help doctors better understand brain health in babies with hydrocephalus, a condition where fluid builds up in the brain. Researchers will use an FDA-approved contrast agent to get clearer pictures of blood flow in the brain, hoping to find better ways to measure pressure and guide treatment. The study involves up to 20 infants under 1.5 years old who are already patients at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.
