“…Different patterns of WMI detected on HUS and their MRI correlates were reported, and include a combination of cystic‐PVL ( n = 8), diffuse non‐cystic WMI or abnormal WM echogenicity ( n = 10), and/or WM disease ( n = 1). As reported in eight studies, HUS detects cystic‐PVL with high reliability 19,20,22–27 . However, cystic‐PVL was reported to be a rare finding, with an incidence below 5% in three of the cohorts 19,25,26 .…”

“…Three studies compared HUS to MRI susceptibility weighted imaging (a sequence with increased sensitivity to detect blood products) and reported a low sensitivity of HUS to detect low‐grade IVH 25,33,34 . Studies comparing the diagnosis of GMH/IVH on serial HUS to MRI T1‐ and T2‐weighted images showed a good correlation between the two neuroimaging modalities 19,23,24,30,32 . At TEA, IVH remnants were better seen on MRI 24 …”

“…As such, three studies reported that among preterm neonates with normal HUS, one third to half of them had anomalies detected on brain MRI (mostly mild white matter anomalies). [21][22][23] As detailed below, HUS was compared with MRI to detect (1) WMI…”

Aim To systematically review the literature to compare the performance of head ultrasound (HUS) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in their ability to detect brain injury and their predictive value for neurodevelopmental outcomes. Methods This was a systematic review based on literature search in three electronic databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane Library) and additional sources for studies on routine brain injury screening in preterm neonates published during 2000–May 2020. Studies were included if they reported on the comparative performance of HUS and MRI in detecting preterm brain injury and/or their predictive value for neurodevelopmental outcomes. Findings from the included studies underwent narrative synthesis. Results Forty‐six studies were included. In comparison with HUS, MRI detected more anomalies and provided more details on the severity and the extent of preterm brain injury, particularly for white matter injury and cerebellar haemorrhage. Neonatal neuroimaging predicted outcomes with high negative predictive value but relatively low positive predictive value. The prognostic value of neonatal neuroimaging varied according to several factors including modality and timing of imaging, and tools used for grading brain injury. Conclusion Compared with HUS, MRI offers a better characterisation of preterm brain injury and may enhance the ability to predict neurodevelopmental outcomes.

Résumé L’imagerie cérébrale systématique pour déceler les lésions touchant les nouveau-nés prématurés est utilisée pour prédire le pronostic à long terme et déterminer les complications susceptibles de nécessiter une intervention. Même si l’imagerie par résonance magnétique peut être indiquée dans des situations particulières, l’échographie cérébrale est la technique la plus utilisée et demeure la meilleure modalité d’imagerie systématique en raison de sa portabilité et de sa facilité d’accès. L’échographie cérébrale systématique est recommandée pour tous les nouveau-nés venus au monde à 31+6 semaines d’âge gestationnel ou moins. Chez les nouveau-nés prématurés venus au monde entre 32+0 et 36+6 semaines d’âge gestationnel, elle n’est recommandée qu’en présence de facteurs de risque d’hémorragie intracrânienne ou d’ischémie. Il est conseillé d’obtenir une imagerie cérébrale dans les sept à 14 jours suivant la naissance pour déceler la plupart des hémorragies de la matrice germinale et des hémorragies intraventriculaires. Il est recommandé de reprendre l’imagerie entre quatre et six semaines de vie pour déceler les lésions de la substance blanche.
