β¦ Synopsis
Neuroimaging has considerable potential for assessing the severity of brain damage in neonates who have suffered hypoxicischemic brain injury. This article reviews the recent literature concerning the concepts of perinatal hypoxic-ischemic brain injury as they relate to patterns of brain injury and thus to neuroimaging. In addition, the temporal changes of brain injury-as detected by transfontanel sonography, x-ray computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging-are discussed. The discussions of these modalities include new techniques such as Doppler sonography, quantitative sonographic feature analysis, diffusion magnetic resonance imaging, and perfusion magnetic resonance imaging. Finally and where applicable, the prognostic implications of the imaging findings are discussed.

Vulnerability of neurotransmitter-specific neurons to hypoxia-ischemia was examined in the immature rat corpus striatum. Carotid artery ligation plus 2 hours of 896 oxygen atmosphere at 1 week of age produced ipsilateral striatal injury and reduced hemisphere mass 2 and 6 weeks later. Striatal injur
There is clinical and experimental evidence that the response to hypoxic and hypoxic-ischemic brain injury is age dependent. The effects of perinatal hypoxia, especially its epileptogenic effects, are different in the neonatal brain compared with that of the adult. Experimental models show increased
To gain insights into the pathogenesis and management of perinatal hypoxic-ischemic brain damage, the authors have used an immature rat model which they developed many years ago. The model entails ligation of one common carotid artery followed thereafter by systemic hypoxia. The insult produces perm
This review describes the manner in which glucose or carbon dioxide protects the perinatal brain from hypoxic-ischemic damage.
## Abstract ## Purpose: To develop and compare an automated detection system for ischemic lesions in a neonatal model of bilateral carotid artery occlusion with hypoxia (BCAOβH) from T2 weighted MRI (T2WI) to the currently used βgold standardβ of manual segmentation. ## Materials and Methods: Fo
