N2 - Neuroimaging is a crucial component of the management of neonates in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Previously, challenges associated with the transport of neonates to a traditional 1.5-3T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machine have led to a reliance on ultrasound in the NICU, despite its limitations. Bedside availability of the neonatal MRI system has provided solutions to some of these challenges by decreasing the time of transport, providing continuous monitoring of the neonate, and cable management for lines and leads without an external magnetic field. We present our initial experience with the point-of-care NICU MRI through a clinical case. The point-of-care MRI successfully identified intracranial abnormalities, demonstrating its effectiveness in the NICU.
