What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study tested a new MRI technique that can take pictures of children's lungs without using radiation or injecting contrast dye. 72 children aged 6-16 had both a standard CT scan and this new MRI. The goal was to see if the MRI could produce clear images of the lungs, potentially offering a safer alternative to CT scans in the future.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Advanced ZTE MRI sequence
What this could lead to
If successful, this MRI method could replace CT scans for some children, avoiding radiation exposure and injections.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study focused on image quality, not on treating disease. The new MRI may not be as clear as CT for all lung problems.
