ABSTRACT:
In one aspect the present invention is a method for imaging an infant or minor in a magnetic resonance imaging apparatus. The method preferably comprises positioning an adult in the patient-receiving space or gap of a magnet and affixing a minor, child or infant with an appropriate antenna. The minor, child or infant is then placed in the lap or arms of the adult and imaging proceeds. In another aspect the method may also comprise positioning an adult and a minor, child or infant in the patient-receiving space or gap of a magnet. The infant, child or minor is placed in closed proximity to the adult so that the infant, child or minor and adult can be fitted with a single antenna. Thereafter, an image of a portion of the minor's, infant's or child's anatomy is obtained.
