The application of multimodality MRI in premature infants with white matter damage / 国际儿科学杂志

ABSTRACT

Premature infants with younger gestational age are more susceptible to a variety of risk factors, such as ischemia, hypoxia, infection and inflammatory damage.These risk factors will lead to white matter damage and cause neurological sequelae.In recent years, multimodality MRI such as diffusion weighted imaging, diffusion tensor imaging, magnetic resonance spectroscopy and susceptibility weighted imaging have developed rapidly, which provide evidence not only for the location and nature of brain damage, but also for the pathophysiology, tissue blood supply, cell metabolism.This review summarizes the application of multimodality MRI in premature infants with white matter damage.
