Neuroimaging of preterm infants has become part of routine clinical care, but the question is often raised on how often cranial ultrasound should be done and whether every high risk preterm infant should at least have one MRI during the neonatal period. An increasing number of centres perform an MRI either at discharge or around term equivalent age, and a few centres have access to a magnet in or adjacent to the neonatal intensive care unit and are doing sequential MRIs. In this review, we try to discuss when best to perform these two neuroimaging techniques and the additional information each technique may provide.
早产儿的神经影像学已成为常规临床护理的一部分，但问题往往是，颅超声检查应该做多少次，以及是否每个高危早产儿在新生儿期都至少应该进行一次 MRI 检查。越来越多的中心在出院时或接近足月时进行 MRI 检查，少数中心在新生儿重症监护病房内或附近有磁体，并进行连续 MRI 检查。在这篇综述中，我们试图讨论何时最好进行这两种神经影像学技术，以及每种技术可能提供的额外信息。
