Aspect Imaging, a global leader in MRI systems for neonatal patients, has been awarded an Innovative Technology contract by Vizient, a prominent healthcare performance improvement company in the United States. This contract recognizes the innovative qualities of Aspect Imaging’s Embrace Point of Care Neonatal MRI System and its potential to bring improvements to the healthcare industry, particularly in neonatal care.
The Embrace Point of Care Neonatal MRI System is specifically designed for the imaging needs of premature and newborn infants, making it a critical tool in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). It is the world’s first FDA-cleared and CE-approved MRI system for neonatal patients. Key features of the Embrace system include a temperature-controlled patient bed and a Whisper Quiet sound profile to meet the specific care needs of neonatal patients.
The Embrace MRI system is designed to be placed directly within NICUs, addressing the size and risk limitations associated with traditional adult MRI scanners. This technology enables safer and more accessible MRI imaging for fragile neonatal patients, providing critical information to the clinical care team.
The Innovative Technology contract awarded by Vizient recognizes the potential of the Embrace Point of Care Neonatal MRI System to enhance clinical care, patient safety, and healthcare worker safety while reducing risks associated with transporting newborns to traditional MRI facilities. This recognition will facilitate the adoption of the Embrace system in healthcare organizations and help improve neurocritical care for neonatal patients.
Wendy Slatery, Chief Commercial Officer at Aspect Imaging, expressed the company’s commitment to providing valuable solutions to healthcare organizations and their smallest patients, emphasizing the importance of the Embrace MRI system in neonatal care.
