Abstract
MR imaging of premature neonates is challenging due to their small size, need for temperature support and monitoring, and immature central nervous system. Use of MR compatible incubators and MR compatible monitoring apparatus, careful selection of imaging protocols, and real time review of images by a radiologist can streamline the imaging process and improve image quality. Imaging should be focused upon (1) the child's biorhythms (imaging during sleep cycles), (2) minimizing delays during transport and (3) delaying noisy MR sequences until the end of an examination. Successful imaging of premature neonates requires teamwork: advanced planning, careful communication among neonatologists, nurses, and radiologists, established imaging protocols, and coordination among team members during all aspects of the process.
