Neonate imaging sub-system
First Claim
1. A radiology imaging sub-system for treating neonates, comprising:
- a radiology compatible incubator for providing a controlled environment for a neonate;
a radiology compatible RF coil selectively coupled to the incubator for providing radiology imaging of the neonate;
at least one retaining mechanism coupled to the incubator for retaining at least one of a life sustaining line or a life monitoring line to the sub-system,wherein the retaining mechanism is a semicircular flap coupled to at least one of the incubator, the trolley or the coil; and
a radiology compatible trolley for transporting the incubator and the RF coil,wherein the incubator and RF coil are formed as a modular assembly thereby facilitating installation and removal of the incubator and RF coil to/from the sub-system.

Abstract
A radiographic imaging sub-system for treating neonates is disclosed. The subsystem includes a radiographic compatible incubator for providing a controlled environment for a neonate, a radiographic compatible RF coil selectively coupled to the incubator for providing radiographic imaging of the neonate, and a radiographic compatible trolley for transporting the incubator and the RF coil. Additionally, the sub-system can include a radiographic MR compatible vital signs monitor, a radiographic compatible infusion pump, a radiographic compatible injector, a radiographic compatible ventilator, a radiographic compatible blender, radiographic compatible intravenous pole, tanks, pressure reducers/gauges and flow pipes.
