Orlando, FL-based Invivo had a hand in last year's study to surgically separate a pair of conjoined twins at the Lucile Packard Children's Hospital at the Stanford University Medical Center in Stanford, CA.

Invivo supplied two of its Precess MRI patient monitors to monitor the Costa Rican twins simultaneously.

The Invivo Precess features wireless ECG, wireless SpO2, and wireless remote displays, which enabled the Precess to monitor and transport the twins from CT to MRI. The wireless parameters also aid in the safe monitoring of both twins without the risk of heating or burning.

MRI reveals effects of risk factors on vulnerable brain regions
By Kate Madden Yee
MRI shows the effects particular risk factors such as diabetes, air pollution, and frequency of alcohol use have on "higher-order" brain regions located in the cerebral cortex, researchers have found.
March 27, 2024
To the left of the figure, the red-yellow color denotes the regions that degenerate earlier than the rest of the brain and are vulnerable to Alzheimer’s disease. These brain areas are higher-order regions that process and combine information coming from our different senses. To the right of the figure, each dot represents the brain data from one UK Biobank participant. The overall curve shows that, in these particularly fragile regions of the brain, there is accelerated degeneration with age. Image courtesy of Gwenaëlle Douaud, PhD, and Jordi Manuello, PhD.
