Improved neonatal survival rates and antenatal diagnostic imaging is generating a growing demand for postnatal MRI examinations. Neonatal brain MRI is now becoming standard clinical care in many settings, but with the exception of some research centres, the technique has not been optimised for imaging neonates and small children. Here, we review some of the challenges involved in neonatal MRI, including recent advances in overall MR practicality and nursing practice, to address some of the ways in which the MR experience could be made more neonate-friendly.
提高新生儿存活率和产前诊断成像技术的发展,导致人们对新生儿产后磁共振成像检查的需求不断增长。现在,新生儿脑 MRI 已成为许多情况下的标准临床护理,但除了一些研究中心外,该技术尚未针对新生儿和幼儿成像进行优化。在这里,我们回顾了新生儿 MRI 所涉及的一些挑战,包括最近在整体 MR 实用性和护理实践方面的进展,以解决如何使 MR 检查更适合新生儿的一些问题。
