Benefits of technology
[0016]Therefore, there is a long felt need for a system and methods thereof facilitating MRI scanning of a baby that maintains environmental conditions and life support equipment connections and monitoring during the scan. Further, this apparatus and methods thereof will limit excess handling, and eliminate the need for decoupling or disconnecting the neonate from life supporting of the baby during MRI imaging and preparation thereof, thereby providing a
Problems solved by technology
Many accidents were reported when metallic items were pulled in by the force of the magnetic field and harmed a patient during imaging.
Other risks may be peripheral nerve stimulation, exposure to a loud noise (up to 120 dB), generated by the rapid switching of the magnetic field gradients, or overheating may occur due to absorption of the energy that is utilized to generate the magnetic spin.
Another risk involves an unintentional shut-down of a superconducting electromagnet (“quench”), resulting in the rapid boiling of liquid helium from the device.
The rapidly expanding helium if released into the scanner room may cause displacement of the oxygen and present a risk of asphyxiation.
Any transfer or movement of the baby may require the transfer or reconnection of attached medical devices, posing an additional stress on the baby.
Further, any changes in location of the neonate may expose him to infection from an unprotected environment.

Abstract
A magnetic resonance system (MRS), including a magnetic resonance device (MRD), comprising an open bore, the MRD at least partially contained in an envelope comprising in its circumference at least one recess; and, a cart made of MRI-safe material, comprising a base and at least one incubator above the base. The MRS is operative in a method of magnetic resonance imaging of neonates, comprising the steps of obtaining the MRS, the incubator is accommodated by a neonate; and inserting at least a portion of the cart into the MRD such that at least a portion of the incubator is inserted into the open bore and at least a portion of the base into at least one recess.
