Introduction of #MR-compatible incubators (INC) has #revolutionized imaging preterm neonates and this fact has not been noted strongly
enough in the medical literature so far. Built of non-magnetic
materials, INC is equipped with gas cylinders, respirator, and #pulse oximeter as well as head and body coils for imaging. Before era of INC
premature newborns were deprived of possibility of MRI because they
could not have been transported early in their lives to the MRI units
and could not have been scanned in the unfriendly environment without
the required temperature and humidity. INC has changed this situation
and made MRI available to the youngest and sickest babies. In most cases
it is brain that requires early assessment in preterm new borns, but
body imaging is more and more demanded in INC in premature infants as
well. The coils from INC can also be used to study minor body parts in older
children providing better signal-to-noise ratio than in “adult” coils.
INC contributed significantly to scientific research on the development
of prematurely born children and on the impact of the negative factors
of #prematurity on this development. The scant literature devoted to this
subject increases thanks to these investigations.
