Neonatal neuroimaging, particularly magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), offers crucial insights into infant brain development and injury. Advances in MRI techniques enhance diagnosis and prognostication for improved neonatal care.

Area of Science:

Neonatology
Neuroimaging
Medical Physics

Background:

Neonatal neuroimaging is vital for understanding brain development and neurological injuries.
Cranial ultrasonography (cUS) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are primary tools in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).
Conventional MRI offers superior resolution, while advanced techniques probe microstructure and function.

Purpose of the Study:

To review the fundamentals and clinical applications of neonatal neuroimaging modalities.
To explore the current landscape of neonatal brain MRI from research to clinical practice.
To highlight recent advancements in MRI technology for neonatal neurological disorders.

Main Methods:

Narrative review of neonatal neuroimaging techniques.

Keywords:

Brain Cranial ultrasound Magnetic resonance imaging Newborn Preterm
