The objective of our study was to develop a small 1.5-T MRI system for neonatal imaging that can be installed in the ICU (NICU) and evaluate its performance 15 neonates.A MR designed orthopedic use adapted imaging. Modifications included raising leveling magnet, construction patient table, integration electronics from high-performance adult-sized scanner. used perform examinations brain, abdomen, chest medically stable neonates using standard clinical protocols. scanning time limited 60...
ABSTRACT The ability to produce hyperpolarized noble gases 3 He and 129 Xe has opened up exciting possibilities for pulmonary magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We have recently built a hyperpolarizer with the goal of using gas MRI in neonatal lungs dedicated small foot‐print 1.5 T MR scanner developed at our institution sited Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Although can provide unique insights into lung ventilation, acinar microstructure, gas‐exchange dynamics, there is an undiminished need 1...
Background: Establishing postnatal nutrition delivery is challenging in neonates with immature sucking and swallowing ability. Enteral feeding the gold standard for such patients, but their small size fragility present challenges nasogastric (NG) tube placement. Feeding tubes are typically placed x‐ray guidance, which provides minimal soft tissue contrast exposes baby to ionizing radiation. This research investigates magnetic resonance (MR) guidance of NG placement provide improved...
