Resilient actions in the diagnostic process and system performance

Background

MRI allows a detailed assessment of brain structures in preterm infants, outperforming cranial ultrasound. Neonatal MR-based brain volumes of preterm infants could serve as objective, quantitative and reproducible surrogate parameters of early brain development. To date, there are no reference values for preterm infants’ brain volumes at term-equivalent age.

Objective

Systematic review of the literature to determine...
