More of March of Dimes research dollars are paying off in the quest to improve the health of all babies. And they’re paying off right here in our chapter.
Pediatric neuroscientists at Oregon Health & Science University Doernbecher Children’s Hospital are the first to use high magnetic field strength MRI to reveal tiny white matter injuries in the developing brain previously undetectable using standard MRI. Early, accurate identification of these lesions in the preterm human infant could prevent delays in therapy and treatment.
The study revealing this breakthrough was funded in part by March of Dimes. Just another way we’re working together for stronger, healthier babies.
