Preterm brain injury: imaging and neurodevelopmental outcome

Am J Perinatol. 2004 Apr;21(3):167-72. doi: 10.1055/s-2004-823772.

Abstract

Although neonatal survival has dramatically improved during the last decade, there remain a significant number of infants who sustain brain injury and exhibit developmental delay. This review identifies the current modes of brain imaging available to the neonatologist and the correlation between neonatal imaging and clinical outcomes to facilitate early identification of these at-risk newborns.
