Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Neuroscience
  • Pediatrics

Background:

  • Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is vital for visualizing newborn infant brains in clinical and research settings.
  • Infant movement presents a significant challenge, compromising MR image quality and hindering reliable assessment and analysis.
  • High-quality imaging is essential for accurate diagnosis and research findings in neonatal brain studies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a systematic, stepwise approach for reducing infant motion during neonatal MRI scans.
  • To provide practical recommendations for infant preparation, immobilization, and safety during MRI acquisition.
  • To enhance the success rate of obtaining high-quality, analyzable infant brain MRI data.

Main Methods:

  • Implementing a systematic, stepwise protocol for neonatal MRI scanning.
  • Utilizing the feed-and-bundle technique for effective infant immobilization.
  • Adhering to specific safety precautions to minimize risks during the procedure.

Main Results:

  • The systematic approach, including the feed-and-bundle technique, effectively reduces infant motion.
  • This method ensures high-quality MR images suitable for reliable assessment and advanced analysis.
  • A success rate of 91% was achieved in acquiring high-quality, analyzable infant brain MRI scans.

Conclusions:

  • A systematic, stepwise approach is effective in minimizing motion artifacts in neonatal brain MRI.
  • The recommended protocol, focusing on preparation and immobilization, leads to high-quality, analyzable images.
  • This approach is valuable for both research and clinical applications in neonatal neuroimaging.
