Immediate or early postnatal onset forms of neurometabolic disorders represent a clinically important subgroup because these often present as a life-threatening episode of metabolic decompensation shortly after birth. This article…
Thierry A.G.M. Huisman, MD, EQNR, FICIS, Guest Editor Claudia M. Hillenbrand, PhD, Guest Editor This issue of Magnetic Resonance Imaging Clinics of North America is dedicated to MRI of the…
The immature brain is more prone to seize than the mature brain. Causes of seizure are multiple and affect different neuroimaging modalities. The most common associated diseases are hypoxia-ischemia, intracranial…
Postmortem imaging has become an increasingly important part in the examination of deceased fetuses and neonates. This article discusses how to perform magnetic resonance (MR) imaging autopsy, including such technical…
The development of the spinal canal and its contents is highly complex and involves multiple programmed anatomic and functional developmental and maturational processes. Correct and detailed knowledge about spinal malformations…
This article describes the potentials and challenges of quantitative analyses of human neonatal brain images using structural magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and diffusion tensor imaging. To maximize the potential of…
Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is superior to ultrasonography (US) for the evaluation and prognostication of neonates with neonatal encephalopathy (NE). Nonetheless, US may provide important information early in the course…
This article discusses neonatal magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and reviews equipment and procedures for MR-related transport, sedation, monitoring, and scanning. MR is gaining importance in the diagnosis and clinical management…
Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging should be part of the routine workup in suspected inflicted brain injury. The inclusion of diffusion-weighted MR imaging is essential for assessment of acute hypoxic-ischemic brain…
The main neonatal stroke syndromes discussed in this article are: arterial ischemic stroke (AIS), including perinatal AIS, and “presumed” perinatal AIS; cerebral venous thrombosis, including cortical vein and venous sinus…
