Pediatric iMRI

With 3 Tesla strength, our iMRI features the most powerful magnetic resonance imaging technology available and offers numerous surgical benefits. The 3T iMRI provides high-resolution images during an operation. Surgeons are able to collect scans without moving the patient from the surgical table, ensuring that the optimum position for surgery is never compromised.

The iMRI also allows for functional testing (fMRI), for example, in patients who are being considered for surgery. It complements other diagnostic tools at Le Bonheur, giving more in-depth information for a patient’s treatment plan.

Children with these conditions may benefit from the iMRI:

• Brain tumors
• Epilepsy
• Other lesional brain abnormalities, like blood vessels, malformations or dysplasia
