New MRI coils aim to sharpen images for children
NCT ID NCT01633866
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests new radio frequency coils for MRI scanners to see if they can produce better images in children, including those with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Researchers will check for side effects like heating and discomfort, and measure image quality. The goal is to improve MRI technology for safer, clearer scans in young patients.
