Abstract

Although cranial ultrasonography and computed tomography are particularly useful in the assessment of newborns with neurological signs and symptoms, magnetic resonance imaging has become a critical component in this evaluation to identify the cause of a newborn’s symptoms, to assess the severity of disease and to determine prognosis. Several recent reviews describe aspects of conventional magnetic resonance imaging modalities used in newborns for these purposes. This chapter reviews aspects of magnetic resonance spectroscopy and is focused on the clinical utility of spectroscopy in the newborn.
