Doctors test 'miniature' MRI scanner for premature babies
Doctors in England's Sheffield city are testing a 'miniature' MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) scanner for imaging the brains of premature babies. It is one of the only two purpose-built neonatal MRI scanners in the world. Research has shown that MRI is a better technique to visualise the structures of brains in infants, as compared to ultrasound.
