Pod In Which Infants Can Undergo MRI/CT or X-Ray Imaging

ScanPod® MRI-Compatible Neonatal Transport Pod for Safe Infant Imaging

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has become a vital diagnostic tool for neonatal infants, offering non-invasive insights that are crucial given their delicate size and condition. Early detection enables prompt, effective treatment, minimizing risks and improving outcomes. The ScanPod is engineered to create a warm, cozy setting for newborns undergoing MRI, CT, or X-ray scans, ensuring comfort throughout the process.

Transporting an infant from the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) to the MRI suite often presents significant hurdles for medical teams. MRI facilities aren't always nearby, and full MRI-compatible transport incubators can be costly, bulky, and scarce. Non-compatible options add weight and potential hazards, exacerbating the vulnerabilities faced by these tiny patients in need of urgent diagnostics.

The ScanPod overcomes these issues by allowing setup right in the NICU: Simply transfer the infant from their crib, stabilize them in the pod, and move safely through the hospital to the imaging unit. It maintains a secure, temperate, and serene environment during the scan and the return trip, streamlining neonatal imaging workflows.

Comfort

Infant Comfort and Advanced Construction in the ScanPod Neonatal Imaging Pod

The ScanPod prioritizes neonatal comfort throughout MRI, CT, or X-ray procedures, creating a soothing environment for vulnerable infants. Its high-tech composite build is engineered for lightness and superior shock absorption, while ensuring zero interference or imaging artifacts in magnetic resonance, computed tomography, or radiographic scans.

Leveraging proven technologies from our pioneering BabyPod 2 Infant Transport Device, the ScanPod places utmost emphasis on patient safety and well-being. At the "head" end, integrated acoustic damping foam within the shell minimizes noise and vibrations from the MRI machine, helping to alleviate stress and maintain a calm setting for the newborn.
Secure

Secure Infant Positioning in the ScanPod Neonatal Imaging Transport Pod

Within the ScanPod, newborns are gently and firmly positioned using an advanced vacuum mattress system paired with soft, adjustable infant straps. This setup ensures maximum comfort and stability during intra-hospital transfers and imaging procedures like MRI, CT, or X-rays.

The vacuum mattress contours precisely to the infant's body, and with a simple vacuum pump, air is extracted to form a plush yet supportive structure. This delivers reliable cushioning that protects against movement during hospital transport, while also allowing for precise pre-positioning needed for optimal scan results.

Visibility & Access

Superior Patient Visibility and Access in the ScanPod Neonatal Imaging Pod

The ScanPod features an expansive transparent lid that offers outstanding visibility of the infant, allowing medical teams to monitor newborns easily during MRI, CT, or X-ray procedures. The lid is securely fastened with user-friendly toggles on both sides, providing quick securement and effortless release for seamless operation in busy hospital settings.

For initial patient placement, the entire lid detaches completely, and its lightweight construction makes it simple to remove for additional access if needed. When the lid is in place, two generous access ports—one on each side of the enclosure—enable direct interaction with the infant for minor adjustments, eliminating the need to fully open the pod and reducing exposure risks.

At the foot end, dedicated ports accommodate ventilator tubing and accessory leads, positioned conveniently near the ventilator mount. Meanwhile, the head-end exit port handles MRI coil leads efficiently, supporting smooth integration with imaging equipment.
Flexible Solution

Versatile Ventilator and Equipment Integration in the ScanPod Neonatal Imaging Pod

The ScanPod serves as a highly adaptable solution for neonatal imaging across diverse hospital settings, tailored to meet individual patient needs and facility requirements. ScanPod is manufactured by Advanced Healthcare Technology. Their proprietary MR-Neonatal Automatic Transport Ventilator (NeoVent) is available as an optional add-on, delivering MR-conditional oxygen therapy to support infants safely during MRI, CT, or X-ray procedures.

The ventilator attachment point is strategically positioned at the "foot" end of the ScanPod on the carry board, with rotational flexibility to optimize access and usability. Custom mounting plates are offered for leading MR-compatible ventilators, empowering hospitals to leverage their existing equipment for seamless integration and cost savings.
