To meet the needs of term and preterm neonates undergoing magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, an MR-compatible incubator with air, temperature, and humidity regulators and integrated radiofrequency coils was evaluated. Nine brain, two cardiac, and two pelvic examinations were performed by using a 1.5-T clinical MR imaging unit. The axillary temperature of the newborns varied by less than 0.8 degrees C, their vital signs remained stable, and no complications were encountered. The diagnostic quality of images obtained with the MR-compatible incubator was superior to that of images obtained with the standard MR imaging equipment. The use of an MR-compatible incubator for examinations of ill neonates is feasible and safe and yields excellent MR images.
为满足足月和早产新生儿进行磁共振(MR)成像的需求,对一种具有空气、温度和湿度调节器以及集成射频线圈的MR兼容培养箱进行了评估。使用1.5-T临床MR成像设备进行了9次脑部、2次心脏和2次盆腔检查。新生儿的腋窝温度变化小于0.8摄氏度,他们的生命体征保持稳定,未出现并发症。使用MR兼容培养箱获得的图像诊断质量优于使用标准MR成像设备获得的图像。将MR兼容培养箱用于患病新生儿的检查是可行且安全的,并能产生出色的MR图像。
