Imaging of perinatal hypoxic-ischemic brain injury.
This article reviews some physiological parameters that influence the location and degree of injury from hypoxia-ischemia. The ability of various imaging tests, particularly magnetic resonance imaging, to detect tissue changes after hypoxia-ischemia is discussed. Most importantly, we evaluate the extent of our knowledge regarding the correlations between imaging, pathophysiological processes, and clinical medicine.
