Summary

This study tested whether a small, portable MRI machine could safely take pictures of the brain in children (ages 0-17) who are on ECMO, a type of life support. The goal was to see if the procedure was safe and practical, not to treat the children. Twenty children participated, and researchers measured things like side effects, time needed, and staff required.
