Diagnostic Utility of MRI in Intracerebral Hemorrhage

This study is currently recruiting participants.
Verified by Stanford University, November 2007

Sponsored by: Stanford University
Information provided by: Stanford University
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00363662
  Purpose

The overall aim of this project is to prospectively determine whether MRI can improve the conventional neuroradiological evaluation (CT with or without cerebral angiography) of patients with a spontaneous ICH or IVH. The study design will also allow us to identify the added benefit of specific MR sequences and repeat MRI in the chronic stage, thereby allowing us to prospectively determine their value in a consecutive series of patients. This information should have a major impact on the management of these patients by providing data on the diagnostic yield of routine MRI in patients presenting with a wide variety of causes for ICH or IVH. These data will help guide the diagnostic evaluation and the management of brain hemorrhage patients in the future.
