Scientists from UCSF are changing the widespread doubt about sensory processing disorder, and proving that there may, in fact, be major biological differences in the brains of children with sensory processing problems compared to typically developing children.
At UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital we strive to provide the absolute best in imaging for our patients. The MRI goggles are just one of many examples that help provide the best imaging care for pediatric patients
Imaging of premature infants is challenging in part because they are so small. The image of entire infant can easily fit on the smallest available detector size of 8”x10”. These images are done with portable radiographic equipment that has to be carefully positioned. The infant is normally in an incubator with numerous lines for monitoring physiology that often have to be moved to acquire the image. The babies are very fragile and must be handled with great care.
