This article discusses neonatal magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and reviews equipment and procedures for MR-related transport, sedation, monitoring, and scanning. MR is gaining importance in the diagnosis and clinical management of critically ill, and often very low birth weight infants, so research is ongoing to make transport and examination safer and imaging more successful. Efforts are focused on integration of dedicated neonate MR scanners in neonatal intensive care units, improvements in incubator technology and handling, and more efficient use of scan/sedation time by choosing dedicated neonate coil arrays that improve the signal-to-noise-ratio and facilitate the choice of modern imaging techniques.
本文讨论了新生儿磁共振（MR）成像，并回顾了与MR相关的转运、镇静、监测和扫描的设备及程序。MR在危重症且通常是极低出生体重儿的诊断和临床管理中日益重要，因此正在进行研究以使转运和检查更安全，成像更成功。工作重点在于将专用新生儿MR扫描仪整合到新生儿重症监护病房，改进培养箱技术及操作，以及通过选择能提高信噪比并便于采用现代成像技术的专用新生儿线圈阵列，更高效地利用扫描/镇静时间。
