SECONDARY OBJECTIVES To establish how young children who undergo brain MRI using upright MRI view the experience To establish how parents / carers of young children who undergo brain MRI using the upright MRI view the experience for their child and for themselves. To establish how image quality compares between brain MRI using the upright MRI scanner and the standard MRI scanner used in clinical practice.
