The role of NMR and other techniques in neonatal imaging.
نویسنده
چکیده
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is a recent addition to the imaging techniques available to the neonatologist evaluating disease in the newborn. Reports of this new modality are at present few and the role for NMR imaging (NMRI) is not yet clear but we have encouraging indications of the direction that further research may pursue. The aim of this review article is to consider the potential advantages of NMRI over other imaging techniques and to discuss how NMRI may contribute to evaluation of neurological disorders in the infant.
