GOBrain 5-Minute MRI in ChildrenHighly accelerated neuro exam reduces sedations for pediatric patients

GOBrain@Emory
GOBrain is the only clinically validated, 5-minute brain MRI exam.

Shorter MR imaging protocols can be very valuable in pediatrics1, specifically when they reduce the need for
sedation.

In a pilot assessment of children under the age 8 years undergoing a 5-minute2 brain MRI for primary headache, Emory University School of Medicine and Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta (CHOA)–Egleston found that the need for sedation was reduced by 70%.

They achieved this remarkable outcome with our clinically validated GOBrain protocol, which delivers exceptional diagnostic MR images, including all necessary contrasts and orientations, with the push of a button.

The results by the Siemens Healthineers customer described herein are based on results that were achieved in the customer's unique setting. Since there is no "typical" hospital and many variables exist (e.g., hospital size, case mix, level of IT adoption), there can be no guarantee that other customers will achieve the same results.
