Gravens 2023
36th Annual Conference | March 8-11
Making MRI easier, safer and more accessible for those who need it most.
The patient-focused Embrace® Neonatal MRI System provides quality diagnostic imaging when and where its needed, while keeping premature and critically-ill infants safe and comfortable in their care environment. This revolutionary, point of care imaging system
- enables greater access to critical insights so you can make the best care decisions for even your most vulnerable NICU patients;
- mitigates the risks, challenges and time often associated with off-unit patient transport to Radiology for scanning;
- promotes a more simplified and efficient workflow that is less stressful for patients, parents and the care team.
Visit us at Table #8 in the Island Room at the Gravens Conference and discover how the point-of-care Embrace can help promote improved patient outcomes inside your NICU.
PUBLISHED STUDY

Elisa R. Benson, Ali Mozayan, Steven Peterec, Sarah N. Taylor, Nigel S. Bamford, Laura R. Ment, Erin Rowe, Sean Lisse, Lauren Ehrlich, Cicero T. Silva, T.Rob Goodman and Seyedmehdi Payabvash
Published February 10, 2023 | Frontiers in Neuroscience
In the latest publication from Yale New Haven Hospital, reviewed by Linda DeVries and Kornelia Kreiser, looking at the clinical impact of the Embrace point-of-care scanner, researchers “confirmed the feasibility of the Embrace point-of-care 1-Tesla scanner for imaging in the NICU setting.” The paper concludes “In comparing the point-of-care 1-Tesla Embrace MRI with other imaging modalities, [the researchers] demonstrated the advantages of point-of-care 1-Tesla brain MRI over ultrasound in detecting small early ischemic changes and parenchymal microhemorrhage.”
Make room for a better care solution.
The uniquely-designed, self-shielded Embrace® Neonatal MRI System fits perfectly in any NICU. Whether part of a new construction project or renovation of an existing space, Embrace® can be installed without the complexity, specification requirements, and investment level associated with traditional MRI installation.

Kirsten R. Thiim, Elizabeth Singh, Srinivasan Mukundan, P. Ellen Grant, Edward Yang, Mohamed El-Dib & Terrie E. Inder
Published April 2, 2022 | Journal of Perinatology
New research from Mass General Brigham Hospital in Boston, MA, recently published in the Journal of Perinatology, illustrates the value of having the Embrace® Neonatal MRI in the NICU to provide information without the stress and risk of moving babies out of the NICU.
CLINICAL CASE STUDIES
WEBINARS ON DEMAND
Neonatal Brain Injury: Neurological Examination and Diagnosis
Diane Wilson, NNP
Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, Canada
With over 30 years of experience in Neonatology and a focus on Neonatal Neurology, Diane has been instrumental in the development of the Neonatal Neurocritical Care Unit (NNCU) at SickKids. In this webinar, Diane reviews the anatomy and physiology of neonatal brain development and the components of a comprehensive neonatal neurological examination, with an overview of the common causes of brain injury in preterm and term infants, including a case presentation with neurological exam findings.
Design Considerations for Innovative MRI
Tobias Gilk
Senior Vice President of RADIOLOGY-Planning
Conventional MRI equipment requires unique siting and safety design requirements to protect the safety of patients, medical personnel, and building occupants in close proximity to an MRI. Featured speaker Tobias Gilk, Senior Vice President of RADIOLOGY-Planning, provides an architectural perspective on how the Embrace® Neonatal MRI system substantially reduces or completely eliminates the environmental risks associated with standard planning, design and construction requirements needed for traditional MRI scanners.
