Abstract: According to some aspects, a system configured to facilitate imaging an infant using a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) device is provided herein. The system comprises an infant-carrying apparatus comprising an infant support configured to support the infant and an isolette for positioning the infant relative to the MRI device, the isolette comprising: a base for supporting the infant-carrying apparatus; and a bottom surface configured to be coupled to the MRI device. In some embodiments, the infant-carrying apparatus further comprises at least one radio frequency (RF) coil coupled to the infant support and configured to be coupled to the MRI device to detect MR signals during imaging performed by the MRI device. A method for positioning an infant relative to an MRI device using an infant-carrying apparatus and isolette is further provided herein.

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments generally relate to hybrid thrombectomy devices and processes using such devices. In an exemplary embodiment, the disclosure provides a thrombectomy device to extract a thrombus from a body lumen. The device includes a retraction catheter (150) having a proximal end and a distal end, the retraction catheter configured for insertion into the body lumen; a retracting wire (160) movably positioned inside the retraction catheter, the retraction wire further includes: a plurality of struts (170) coupled to the distal end of the retracting wire at a first end of each of the plurality of struts; a collapsible ring (180) coupled to the second end of each of the plurality of struts; and a collapsible web (190) coupled to the ring and configured to expand into a basket when extended beyond the distal end of the retraction catheter. The collapsible web can be configured to fold into a substantially linear structure to movably fit within the retraction catheter.
