Abstract
New techniques in the study of the brain development in newborn.
Highlights
In the last few decades, the survival rates of preterm babies and full-term babies with severe diseases have increased due to advances in perinatal care
Accurate assessment of cortical folding at term equivalent age (TEA) provides an important marker for structural brain growth and maturation
MR imaging is superior to cranial ultrasound (cUS) in detecting diffuse white matter (WM) injury
Summary
In the last few decades, the survival rates of preterm babies and full-term babies with severe diseases have increased due to advances in perinatal care. Recent studies (Smyser et al, 2012) have proven the power of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) superior to other neuroimaging modalities, including cUS, in detecting cerebral injury. The application of MRI in the neonatal population is rapidly increasing, making MRI one of the key diagnostic tools for the assessment of early brain development and injury.
