Early brain development, from the embryonic period to infancy, is characterized by rapid
structural and functional changes. These changes can be studied using structural and …

Fetal magnetic resonance imaging (FMRI) has gained considerable interest during the last
decade, especially in its intracranial applications. Due to its high soft-tissue contrast and …

The developing human cerebrum displays age-specific changes in its patterns of lamination.
Among these, the subplate zone is the most prominent transient compartment because …

Objective. To compare findings on hard copies of cranial ultrasound (US) and magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI) obtained between birth and term in a group of preterm infants …

2 Introduction data–to place the abnormality assessed within the wider context of
morphogenesis. The symptomatology of imaging–the very core of each chapter–is …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Although sonography is the primary imaging technique for
evaluating the developing fetus, significant limitations exist in the sonographic prenatal …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The volumetric changes of the ventricular system and
germinal matrix are important to understand brain maturation and the mechanism of …

Cortical maturation, especially gyral formation, follows a temporospatial schedule and is a
good marker of fetal maturation. Although ultrasonography is still the imaging method of …

PURPOSE: To analyze normal maturation of the fetal brain with half-Fourier rapid
acquisition with relaxation enhancement (RARE) magnetic resonance (MR) imaging …

Fetal MRI examines non-invasively the unborn fetus. Ultrafast MRI sequences effectively
suppress fetal motion. Multiple case reports and studies have shown that fetal MRI is …
