Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy |
Study Type : | Observational |
Actual Enrollment : | 0 participants |
Observational Model: | Case-Only |
Time Perspective: | Prospective |
Official Title: | MRI Thermal Imaging of Infants Undergoing Cooling for HIE |
Study Start Date : | September 2009 |
Estimated Primary Completion Date : | December 2012 |
Actual Study Completion Date : | July 2013 |
Group/Cohort |
---|
Selective head cooled infants cooled
Infants with HIE who have undergone head cooling for the amelioration of HIE
|
Selective head cooled infants rewarmed
Same infants after rewarming
|
- We will determine if the MRI temperature measurement protocol gives different distributions of temperature within the brain of infants undergoing cooling and the same infant rewarmed. [ Time Frame: One day ]
