Leading the way with greater insight and better care solutions.
MR imaging provides critical data insights with greater clarity and precision than ultrasound, allowing for more informed and accurate clinical care decisions. When it comes to critically-ill or premature infants, however, use of this powerful diagnostic tool has been limited due to the potential risks and complexity of transporting these extremely vulnerable patients to Radiology for scanning…until now.
With the patient-focused Embrace® Neonatal MRI System, quality diagnostic imaging can be performed inside the
NICU, while the patient remains safe and comfortable in their care environment. This revolutionary, point of care imaging system
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.

After moderate encephalopathy was detected following emergency Cesarean delivery, an unsedated MRI Scan was completed in the NICU using the Embrace® Neonatal MRISystem on Day of Life 4, after rewarming.
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.
Point-of- care MRI for NICU patients is a real game changer.
We have devised these short 60-second videos to give you a better understanding of this powerful diagnostic imaging tool and to learn how MR imaging can support your efforts to deliver the best care possible for your NICU patients.

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.
The Embrace® Neonatal MRI System is specifically designed to keep babies safe and warm in their care environment, while simplifying the entire imaging process for the care team. Click below and see for yourself how the Embrace® compares to current scanning methods, eliminating the need for special equipment, extensive preparation and high-risk, off-unit patient transport.
