Innovating MRI for the
Most Vulnerable Patients
Our technology brings high-resolution imaging to neonatal and pediatric care. Making early diagnosis safer, simpler, and more accessible.
Why Pediatric MRI?

MRI is widely available for adults, but access for newborns and infants remains limited. While ultrasound and X-ray provide basic pediatric imaging, MRI is the gold standard for detailed soft-tissue diagnostics.
In many hospitals, infants must be transported to adult MRI units, creating logistical challenges and added clinical risk. A dedicated neonatal MRI system brings imaging closer to the patient, enabling safer, earlier, and fully radiation-free diagnostics.
The neo315 System supports this approach by delivering specialized imaging for newborns directly in their care environment.
neo315 Point-of-care Pediatric MRI
This MRI system provides high image quality and supports a broad range of clinical applications. It is a 1.5T point-of-care system designed for use directly where patient care takes place. Due to the strong magnet shielding, all patient support equipment is operated safely in immediate vicinity of the system; only the equipment which enters the safety-zone must be MR-compatible. Patient monitoring and support do not have to be interrupted during patient positioning and examination.

How the neo315 Fits in
The neo315 can be installed in places adjacent to pediatric patient rooms which were never intended to accommodate a 1.5T MRI system. The rationale for a point-of-care MRI is that the system is available where it is needed, thus significantly reducing the need for patient transport. Further, it is usually available when needed, allowing exams to be scheduled according to the patient’s rhythm rather than the busy schedule of an adult MRI system. To date, most patients scanned with the neo315 have undergone MRI examinations without sedation or anesthesia and have consistently produced quality diagnostic images.

First Сlinical Images
First case: Follow-up imaging was performed on a 7-months old infant with a known subdural hematoma. Prior MRI scans from an adult 1.5T MRI system acquired under anesthesia were available for comparison. The neo315 images were acquired of the awake and cooperative patient. The total acquisition time was 17 minutes and all images were deemed to be diagnostically adequate:

Image contrasts from left to right: MPRAGE, TSE T1, TSE T2, TSE T2 FLAIR, TSE T2 STIR
Second case: Images of a symptom free 1-month old infant. The patient fell asleep early during scanning, and remained comfortable and still during the 13-minute exam:
