MR Imaging of Neonatal Brain Infections
Infections of the brain in the postnatal period differ from those in older children as a result of a combination of distinct epidemiologic factors in general, and immaturity of neonatal…
Birth-Related Injury to the Head and Cervical Spine in Neonates
Birth-related injury is defined as any traumatic or ischemic event sustained during the process of delivery. Perinatally acquired disease processes secondary to birth-related injury can be traumatic or ischemic in…
Congenital Cardiac Defects and MR-Guided Planning of Surgery
In neonates and infants with congenital heart disease (CHD), cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is an established imaging modality in all patients in whom echocardiography does not provide sufficient information and…
Congenital Cardiovascular Malformations: Noninvasive Imaging by MRI in Neonates
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…
MR Imaging of the Neonatal Musculoskeletal System
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…
Imaging of Neonatal Child Abuse with an Emphasis on Abusive Head Trauma
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…
MR Imaging of the Term and Preterm Neonate with Diffuse Brain Injury
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…
MR Imaging Workup of Inborn Errors of Metabolism of Early Postnatal Onset
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…
MR Imaging of the Newborn
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…
Neonates with Seizures: What to Consider, How to Image
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…
