Trial summary

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the benefit on image quality of MRI of the chest performed under high frequency non-invasive ventilation. This technique indeed allows to generate an apnea duration of several minutes with acquisitions performed at full inspiration. This study will be applied on healthy subjects.

About this study

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the benefit on image quality of MRI of the chest performed under high frequency non-invasive ventilation. This technique indeed allows to generate an apnea duration of several minutes with acquisitions performed at full inspiration. This study will be applied on healthy subjects.

Read the detailed description

High frequency ventilation (HF-V) has been applied by using a non-invasive interface allowing to obtain a prolonged apnea in awaken subjects. Such an application should be of interest for MRI taking into account its susceptibility to motion of the chest and the imperfect techniques of respiratory gating that are usually performed at end expiration. The purpose of this study is to assess the benefit on image quality of different sequences performed with and without the device in healthy subjects.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Image quality assessment (soapbubble, maximum of first derivative, signal to noise, contrast to noise)

    Image quality and artefacts will be evaluated and compared without and with the device. Sharpness of the interfaces between vessels and lung will be evaluated with the Soapbubble software (Etienne et al., Magn Reson Med. 2002 Oct;48(4):658-66). The interface between diaphragm and lung will be evaluated with the maximum of the first derivative (Tibiletti et al., Magn Reson Med. 2016 Mar;75(3):1324-32). Signal to noise and contrast to noise will be measured within regions of interest in the image.

    Measured: within 2 weeks after MRI acquisition

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Heart and coronary arteries evaluation (soapbubble, signal to noise, contrast to noise)

    The potential benefit on the exploration of the heart and coronary arteries will be assessed. Sharpness of the coronary arteries with respect to the neighbouring tissue will be evaluated with the Soapbubble software (Etienne et al., Magn Reson Med. 2002 Oct;48(4):658-66). Signal to noise and contrast to noise will be measured within regions of interest in the image.

    Measured: within 2 weeks after MRI acquisition

  2. Synchronization of the acquisition

    The possibility of synchronizing the MRI acquisition with the ventilation system will be explored with the aim to eliminate residual diaphragmatic motion and evaluate the potential additional benefit in terms of image quality and artefacts will be evaluated.

    Measured: during the MRI examination

  3. Subjective tolerance (questionnaire)

    Subjective tolerance of MRI examination under HF-NIV (questionnaire). Participants will fill the questionnaire right after the examination end.

    Measured: at the end of the MRI examination

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing MRI with High-frequency non-invasive ventilation and MRI without High-frequency non-invasive ventilation in people with Non-invasive Ventilation and High-frequency Ventilation, run by University of Lausanne Hospitals at 1 site in Switzerland.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Mar 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Switzerland. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Image quality assessment (soapbubble, maximum of first derivative, signal to noise, contrast to noise) (time frame: within 2 weeks after MRI acquisition). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02973373, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 5 Mar 2020.
