Connectome Neonatal System

Connectome Neonatal System

Description

The Connectome Neonatal System was  developed as a joint project by Jo Hajnal, Centre for the Developing Brain & Department of Biomedical Engineering, St. Thomas Hospital, KCL London, U.K. and RAPID Biomedical. This system is being used for the European Research Council funded “Developing Human Connectome Project” (319456)
(see developingconnectome.org).

  • dedicated for examining babies up to 44 weeks gestational age at time of scan
  • rigid but light shell with positioning holes to prepare the baby
  • support frame to slide the head coil over the baby and shell
  • close fitting 32-channel multi-coil receiver array
  • three immobilization cushions (Pearltec AG) that conform
    to the shape of the baby’s head
  • baby transport trolley
  • acoustic hood to protect baby from noise
  • individually adaptable to different MR systems
  • B0‑field strength: 3 T 
  • approx. housing dimensions:
    outer diameter coil 20 cm, inner diameter shell 13/15.2 cm
    coil housing length 25 cm (shell ca. 69 cm, frame ca. 115.4 cm)
  • approx. weight: coil 5.2 kg / shell 2.7 kg
