Kids' body temperatures shift during MRI sedation – new study reveals why
NCT ID NCT07455695
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at how body temperature changes in children having an MRI scan while under sedation. Researchers measured the temperature of 285 children before and after the scan. They found that temperature can change, and they looked for factors that might predict these changes. The goal was to better understand and improve safety for children during MRI procedures.
