Summary

This early study tests whether a medicine called dexmedetomidine, given as a drink, can safely and effectively sedate children aged 3-6 for MRI scans. The goal is to find a dose that avoids serious side effects and produces clear images. If successful, it could offer a gentler alternative to general anesthesia for young patients.
