Advances in neuroimaging utilizing MR imaging have opened up new insights into brain injury and disease. Sequences such as diffusion weighted imaging (DWI), diffusion tensor imaging, tractography, and perfusion have all contributed to the growing knowledge of how injury and disease impact this critical organ. Yet, understanding the impact of injury due to premature birth on the developing brain has historically been an area where clinicians and researchers have been limited due to the difficulty in imaging very small and ill neonates.
