Aspect Imaging, the leading provider of compact MRI solutions,
is proud to announce the successful installation of the Embrace®
Neonatal MRI System at The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) in
Toronto, Ontario, marking a significant milestone as the first
installation of its kind in Canada.
The Embrace® Neonatal MRI System, renowned for its compact
design and advanced patient-focused approach to MRI, is
specifically tailored to meet the unique needs of premature and
newborn patients within the environment of the neonatal intensive
care unit (NICU). Among the many unique features of the Embrace® is
the self-shielded design, which eliminates the need for a special
shielded room and expansive floor space typically required with
conventional MR systems. With the ability to perform MRI scans
without leaving the NICU, the risks, challenges and stress
typically associated with transporting the baby out of the NICU can
be avoided.
"We are thrilled to be bringing the Embrace® Neonatal MRI System
to Canada," said Wendy Slatery, Chief Commercial Officer of Aspect
Imaging. "This installation represents a significant advancement in
neonatal imaging capabilities for SickKids, reinforcing our shared
dedication to enhancing patient care and outcomes in the most
fragile patient population within the NICU."
SickKids is Canada's most research-intensive hospital and the
largest center dedicated to improving children's health in Canada.
The addition of the Embrace® Neonatal MRI System joins the
hospital's comprehensive suite of diagnostic tools, helping
clinicians to care for some of their youngest patients.
Aspect Imaging is committed to advancing pediatric imaging
technology and looks forward to continuing to work with SickKids to
support the hospital's mission of providing exceptional care to
children and their families. SickKids joins other leading neonatal
centers recognizing the value of incorporating the Embrace Neonatal
MRI System into the NICU to expand access to critical information
when and where it is needed, in the NICU.
