Intra-individual Open-label, Single Center Study to Compare Unenhanced MRI With Dotarem Enhanced MRI

Brain Diseases Clinical Trial

Official title: Intra-individual Open-label, Single Center Study to Compare Unenhanced MRI With Dotarem Enhanced MRI in Pediatric and Neonatal Patient Population (<18years)

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of this study is to evaluate safety and efficacy of Dotarem enhanced MRI in pediatric and neonatal population who are referred for contrast enhanced MRI at Phoenix Children's Hospital.

Clinical Trial Description

Phoenix Children's Hospital (PCH) performs approximately 200 contrast enhanced MRI procedures per month. Recently PCH changed its MRI contrast agent from the linear contrast agent Magnevist to the macrocyclic contrast agent Dotarem. The goal of this study is to evaluate safety and efficacy of Dotarem enhanced MRI in pediatric and neonatal population who are referred for contrast enhanced MRI at PCH.

The study is designed as a single center, open label comparison of unenhanced MRI with Dotarem enhanced MRI in pediatric patient population (<18years). The comparison will be performed intra-individually by 3 independent blinded radiologists. Overall, the study population will consist of 250 pediatric patients who are indicated for contrast enhanced MRI. The safety follow-up period will be 24 (+/- 4) hours post injection of Dotarem and includes the assessment of physical examinations and vital signs as well as the assessment of AEs. ;
