Abstract

Objective To explore values of SWI in detecting neonatal intracranial hemorrhage(NICH).Materials and Methods Ninety-seven neonates underwent conventional MRI(T1WI,T2WI)and SWI examination.Results Forty-sixcases were found NICH in SWI,and only 36 of 46 cases were found in conventional MR sequences.Altogether 104 hemorrhagic lesions were detected on SWI images versus 19 lesions revealed on routine MRI images.Conclusion Compared with conventional MRI,SWI is an excellent new MR sequence for the diagnosis of NICH and the detection of hemorrhagic lesions.
