In the study, 68 babies aged 2-5 weeks were scanned using MRI. To investigate normal infant brain development, lobar volumes and their hemispheric differences, i.e. asymmetry, were explored.

MRI shows brain abnormalities in late preterm infants by Radiological Society of North America (a) Axial T2-weighted image shows brain and bone antero¬posterior distance (APD).

Researchers say they can predict whether an infant will go on to develop autism based on changes seen in MRI brain scans beginning during the first year of life.

The infants were asleep and nonsedated during the scans, and the MRI scanner was "noise-proofed" to produce sound levels below 60 decibels (quieter than normal conversation).

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of the Brain and Spine: Basics: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is one of the most commonly used tests in neurology and neurosurgery.MRI provides exquisite detail of ...

Of the infants who were born to these mothers and who had normal results on prenatal ultrasonography and on physical examination at birth, 103 infants were selected to undergo brain MRI. (Among ...

Animal models with complex cortical development are useful for improving our understanding of the wide spectrum of neurodevelopmental challenges facing human preterm infants. MRI techniques can ...

Our objectives were to establish antecedent factors and patterns of brain injury and their prognostic value in preterm infants with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). Essential inclusion ...

It may be possible to predict whether an infant will go on to develop autism, researchers say. Overgrowth in brain volume during the first year of life forecasts whether a child at high risk of ...
