This episode explores new research from BC Children’s Hospital Research Institute (BCCHR) that uses an innovative MRI technique to measure brain oxygen metabolism in preterm infants. Dr. Alexander Weber, an MRI biomedical engineer and investigator at BCCHR, explains how this safe, noninvasive method offers a clearer window into brain health during a critical stage of development.
The study looked at how different types of respiratory support were associated with brain oxygen use in very preterm babies. This conversation highlights the potential for quantitative MRI to guide more personalized neonatal care in the future.
