Perinatal Neuroradiology :From the Fetus to the Newborn

by Triulzi, F., Baldoli, C., Parazzini, C., Righini, A.

The novel aim of this book is to illustrate the MR imaging features of
the fetal and the neonatal brain by matching prenatal and postnatal images for
a wide range of neurological abnormalities. The focus is on both conventional
and advanced MR imaging techniques, including high-resolution MR autopsy of the
fetal brain.

During the past ten years, neuroradiological evaluation of the neonatal
and the prenatal brain has advanced tremendously. However, even though they are
intrinsically related, these two critical stages in brain development are
usually studied and presented separately. In order to have a sound
understanding of neonatal brain diseases, detailed knowledge of prenatal brain
pathology is immensely helpful; conversely, knowledge of neonatal brain disease
is a prerequisite for understanding many fetal brain lesions. Written by experts
in the field, Perinatal Neuroradiology will be of value for neuroradiologists
and pediatric radiologists, as well as obstetricians and neonatologists.
