Clinical research continues to illustrate the diagnostic value of images obtained on the 1T Embrace Neonatal MR System. This study, published in Neuropediatrics, was designed to evaluate and compare scoring of images obtained on the Embrace, without leaving the NICU, and a conventional MR scanner. The results clearly illustrate substantial interrater agreement. Blank-Altman analysis showed excellent agreement between the two scanners, validating the clinical value of in-NICU scanning with the Embrace.

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.
Infant born by spontaneous vaginal delivery was admitted to the NICU and diagnosed with Gram Negative E. coli sepsis. A non-sedated MRI was completed on Day of Life 15, using the Embrace® Neonatal MRI System located inside the NICU.
After severe encephalopathy was noted following delivery, an early MRI scan was completed using the Embrace® Neonatal MRI System on Day of Life 1, while the infant was still undergoing therapeutic hypothermia to determine the extent of brain injury.
