Practice Paramenter: Neuroimaging of the Neonate
Neurol 58:1726-1738, Ment,L.R.,et al, 2002
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
US plays an established role in the management of preterm neonates of <30 weeks' gestation. US also provides valuable prognostic information when the infant reaches 40 weeks' postmenstrual age. For encephalopathic term infants, early CT sh ould be used to exclude hemorrhage; MRI should be performed later in the first postnatal week to establish the pattern of injury and predict neurologic outcome.
