Abstract：Objective To discuss the value in diagnosis of brain injury in high-risk neonates
by cerebral ultrasound and routine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Methods 63 high-risk
newborn infants were examined by cerebral ultrasound and routine MRI respectively. And the two
diagnosis results were compared and analyzed. Results Ultrasound was more sensitive than MRI
in diagnosing intraventricular hemorrhage (Grade I to IV) and had statistical difference (P<0.05).
But the sensitivity of ultrasound was similar to that of MRI in detecting brain edema and white
matter damage, which was not statistically different (P>0.05). The detection rate of routine MRI
in diagnosis of subarachnoid hemorrhage, subdural hemorrhage as well as cerebellar hemorrhage
was superior than that of ultrasound, having statistical difference (P<0.05). Conclusion Cerebral
ultrasound and MRI could be complementary to each other in diagnosing the cerebral diseases of
high-risk neonates. However, as compared with MRI, ultrasound is more suitable for early screening
and follow-up observation on diseases.
