NCT ID NCT02714933

Summary

This study tested a new type of MRI scan designed to safely image children's lungs without using radiation or injections. It involved 72 children aged 6-16 who needed a standard chest CT scan. Researchers compared the new MRI images to the CT scans to see if the safer method could provide similar quality pictures for diagnosing lung problems.
