为了满足足月和早产儿接受磁共振（MR）成像的需要，我们评估了一种带有空气、温度和湿度调节器和集成射频线圈的磁共振兼容培养箱。使用1.5 t临床磁共振成像装置进行了9次脑，2次心脏和2次盆腔检查。新生儿腋窝温度变化小于0.8℃，生命体征稳定，无并发症发生。磁共振兼容培养箱获得的图像诊断质量优于标准磁共振成像设备获得的图像。使用核磁共振兼容培养箱检查患病新生儿是可行和安全的，并产生良好的核磁共振图像。(c) rsna， 2004年。
To meet the needs of term and preterm neonates undergoing magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, an MR-compatible incubator with air, temperature, and humidity regulators and integrated radiofrequency coils was evaluated. Nine brain, two cardiac, and two pelvic examinations were performed by using a 1.5-T clinical MR imaging unit. The axillary temperature of the newborns varied by less than 0.8degreesC, their vital signs remained stable, and no complications were encountered. The diagnostic quality of images obtained with the MR-compatible incubator was superior to that of images obtained with the standard MR imaging equipment. The use of an MR-compatible incubator for examinations of ill neonates is feasible and safe and yields excellent MR images. (C) RSNA, 2004.
