Synopsis
Point-of-care Magnetic Resonance scanning is a novel and potentially transformative technology, utilising Ultra-Low Field permanent magnets to facilitate bedside neuroimaging. Through iterative T2w sequence optimisation, we demonstrate the feasibility of using ultra-low field portable 64mT MR scanning in neonates. This pilot data demonstrates that images can provide sufficient contrast for tissue differentiation and identify pathological lesions. Scanning with ongoing intensive care was both feasible and safe.
