The value of arterial spin labeling imaging in the classification and prognostic evaluation of neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy

CONCLUSION: Early CBF values in the BG area and thalamus can objectively and visually reflect the severity of the HIE, and be used to predict the outcome of functional brain damage, allowing early neuroprotective treatment to be initiated. The higher the perfusion in the BG region and thalamus, the lower the NBNA score, and the worse the prognosis would likely be. ASL combined with the NBNA score provides a more comprehensive classification for HIE and a more accurate assessment of the clinical prognosis, providing more medical imaging information for early clinical treatment.PMID:34544339 | DOI:10.2174/1567202618666210920112001
