Question
Recently, my child needs to go to the hospital for a check-up. Can full-term infants undergo MRI scans?
Answer
Full-term infants can undergo MRI scans, as these scans are based on acoustic principles and do not produce radiation, making them safe for the baby. A single MRI scan has no adverse effects on the infant’s development and can effectively identify potential diseases. It is recommended to maintain a light diet, avoid cold and hot foods, and stimulating foods, and ensure adequate rest.
