Patient's question:
Everyday Baby had severe jaundice and ABO hemolytic disease at 4 days old and underwent a blood exchange surgery. When about to be discharged, the doctor recommended getting an MRI, but I still don't quite understand the function of this MRI. It's so expensive, and when I watched it live, the noise was so loud and the vibrations were intense. Newborn hemolytic disease appeared at birth.Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: The baby had severe jaundice and ABO hemolytic disease at 4 days old and underwent a blood exchange surgery. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was performed.Recommendations: The cost of MRI varies depending on the area being examined. MRI is non-radiated and provides excellent imaging results, but it is more expensive than other tests. During the MRI, earplugs will be provided to reduce noise, which is not loud. If the baby is 50 days old and the condition requires an MRI, medication will be given to make him sleep, which will have no adverse effects.
