Summary

This study is testing a new, portable MRI machine that uses a very low magnetic field. It aims to see if this device can produce images as good as standard MRI, CT, or ultrasound for children who need brain scans. The device is designed to be safer, more comfortable, and easier to use, especially for kids who might be scared of traditional machines. About 250 children from birth to 22 years old will take part.
