BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Preterm birth interferes with regular brain development.
The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of prematurity on the physical tissue …

OBJECTIVE. MRI studies have shown that preterm infants with brain injury have altered
brain tissue volumes. Investigation of preterm infants without brain injury offers the …

PURPOSE: We evaluated the impact of premature extrauterine life on brain maturation.
PATIENTS AND METHODS: Twelve neonates underwent MR imaging at 40 (39.64±0.98) …

Background To identify preterm infants at risk for neurodevelopment impairment that might
benefit from early neurorehabilitation, early prognostic biomarkers of future outcomes are …

Objectives To evaluate changes occurring in the fetal brain prior to very preterm delivery
using MRI T2* relaxometry, an indirect assessment of tissue perfusion. Method Fetuses that …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: On the basis of a single multidynamic multiecho sequence
acquisition, SyMRI generates a variety of quantitative image data that can characterize …

Objectives The severity of neurocognitive impairment increases with prematurity. However,
its mechanisms remain poorly understood. Our aim was firstly to identify multiparametric …

Background Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a useful tool to study brain growth and
organization in preterm neonates for clinical and research purposes, but its practicality can …

Brain development and brain injury in preterm infants are areas of active research. Magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI), a non-invasive tool applicable to both animal models and human …

The incidence of preterm birth (delivery before 37 weeks' gestation) continues to increase,
with an estimated 14.9 million infants (representing 11.1% of all births) delivered worldwide …
