Abstract
With the advances and widespread use of equipment, MRI has become the first choice for diagnostic imaging of central nervous system diseases in infancy and children. In addition, the importance of MRI has been increasing in neonatal care recently. MRI is now more frequently used and plays a more important role in perinatal diagnostic imaging that is difficult to evaluate with CT and ultrasound (US). In the past two decades, MRI techniques have further progressed, and advanced techniques such as MR spectroscopy (MRS), diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), susceptibility-weighted imaging, and arterial spin labeling are now widely used clinically.
