1. An incubator for imaging with non-ionising radiation for the care of newborn babies;
- characterized in that the incubator comprises at least a first detector of non-ionising radiation (12);
at least a first emitter of non-ionising radiation (13);
a bed (14) to support for supporting a subject (11) under study, it being possible to observe the subject through a window transparent to radiation;
life support equipment (15) comprising at least a control for temperature, gases, heart monitoring, respiratory monitoring, extraction of liquids, and feeding;
a medium for screening (16) light to prevent interference from illumination from outside of the incubator (19);
at least a second illuminator/detector of non-ionising radiation (17) operating in reflection mode which optionally incorporates its own light source;
an anti-vibration support (18) for isolating the incubator and the subject from the outside; and
an imaging system comprising projective and/or tomographic imaging, and which imaging system utilizes non-ionising radiation in the band of the electromagnetic spectrum comprising between ultraviolet light and the far infrared, enabling the viewing of the subject (11) located on the bed (14) such that the projective and/or tomographic image is morphological and/or functional.

Abstract
An incubator for imaging with non-ionising radiation adapted for the care of newborn babies, which integrates a system projective or tomographic imaging system, or both simultaneously, which makes use of non-ionising radiation in the band of the electromagnetic spectrum included between ultraviolet light and far infrared, a system which can be used to view a subject (11) located in the incubator (19) such that this projective or tomographic image can be morphological or functional.

8. An incubator for a newborn, comprising:
-
an imaging assembly for obtaining images of a newborn under study and located in the incubator, the imaging assembly comprising a non-ionizing radiation imaging system; a support for supporting the newborn in the incubator; a life support system associated with the newborn for detecting and monitoring the vital signs of the newborn; a light screening medium associated with the support and the newborn for screening light to prevent interference to the non-ionizing radiation imaging system from external illumination; and an anti-vibration support associated with the imaging assembly for isolation from the external environment. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
