NICU MRI

Stepping up for BC’s most vulnerable newborns.

EVERY DAY, BC AND YUKON’S SMALLEST, SICKEST, AND MOST VULNERABLE NEWBORNS BEGIN THEIR LIVES AT BC WOMEN’S HOSPITAL + HEALTH CENTRE NICU.

BC Women’s Health Foundation is raising $6.5 million to purchase and install a ground-breaking new piece of equipment: The Embrace Neonatal MRI Scanner (Aspect Imaging).

OUR VISION:

A STATE-OF-THE-ART
NICU MRI

The Embrace Neonatal MRI Scanner (Aspect Imaging) is the only Health Canada-approved MRI scanner designed specifically for neonates, it will be solely reserved for NICU use, providing quick and easy access for BCWH newborns who need it most. Only 5 hospitals currently use the Embrace MRI worldwide. BCWH will be the first in Western Canada.
