Summary

This study tests a fast, motion-resistant brain MRI technique called Magnetic Resonance Fingerprinting (MRF) in children, teens, and young adults with acute leukemia. The goal is to see if the scan can detect brain changes caused by chemotherapy drugs that enter the brain. Participants will also take a 20-minute game-like test of memory and thinking. The study aims to find early signs of cognitive side effects so they can be prevented in the future.
