Portable MRI Technology for Neonatal Care
Project Summary/Abstract Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), especially with diffusion contrast, has been the undisputed standard of care for the detection and diagnosis of neonatal brain disorders and injuries such as Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). However, the nature of these large, expensive, potentially dangerous instruments limits accessibility and requires that patients be transported to a radiology suite. In the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) setting, patient transfer introduces safety concerns, since it requires a full hand-off of patient care responsibilities and exposes the neonate to stress from transport and acoustic noise. In particular, HIE patients are often not…
