Owing largely to advances in fetal echocardiography, in most developed countries the diagnosis of severe congenital heart disease (CHD) is now made during gestation, and delivery is electively planned in…
Experience in magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of the neonatal musculoskeletal system is rapidly increasing. The exquisite ability of MR to image the soft tissues, especially cartilage, without radiation is its…
Child abuse and neglect is a serious clinical and socioeconomic problem that is sometimes underestimated. One of the most devastating forms is abusive head trauma. This review addresses the radiological…
Both term and preterm neonates suffer from diffuse brain injury. Global hypoxic-ischemic injury (HII) describes the diffuse brain injury most common in term neonates. HII is thought to result from…
Diagnostic cardiac catheterization procedures in children have been largely replaced by magnetic resonance (MR) imaging studies. However, when invasive catheterization is required, MR imaging has a significant role to play,…
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…
