Abstract:
Arterial spin labeling magnetic resonance imaging is highly suited to the exploration of brain perfusion in neonates and has the potential to provide relevant complementary information to neuroimaging studies, with insights into neurodevelopmental outcomes. Applying this technique within the first days of life is challenging and requires specific technical adaptations. The literature on this topic is scarce and heterogeneous, especially on 1.5-T scanners, limiting widespread clinical adoption. This paper aims to describe a simple approach for arterial spin labeling in neonates, with key considerations for radiologists.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ventilation Perfusion Scans are two radiological investigations that offer detailed diagnostic images of the body, particularly lung structures.
MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...
