Multiparametric Analysis of Cerebral Development in Preterm Infants Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Abstract: ObjectivesThe severity of neurocognitive impairment increases with prematurity. However, its mechanisms remain poorly understood. Our aim was firstly to identify multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) markers that differ according to the degree of prematurity, and secondly to evaluate the impact of clinical complications on these markers.Materials and MethodsWe prospectively enrolled preterm infants who were divided into two groups according to their degree of prematurity: extremely preterm (<… Show more

“…This may be attributed to the fact that the earlier the gestational age and (or) lower the birthweight, the lower the number of nephrons and their maturity ( 32 , 33 ), which leads to an increased susceptibility toward kidney injury ( 34 ). However, we found a significant association of AKI with lower gestational age but not with preterm birth gestation (<37 weeks) ( 35 ). It is possible that AKI is associated with a lower gestational age cutoff and should be evaluated.…”

“…Effective connectivity studies go beyond the scope of this review as well as gyrification and volumetry. However, those are also influenced by prematurity and plasticity factors [102][103][104]. Non-invasive neuroimaging techniques, such as magnetoencephalography which measures neural activity may also be coupled with MRI [105].…”
