Core Tip

Core Tip: Susceptibility weighted imaging (SWI) sequences in magnetic resonance imaging scanning potentially provide richer and more detailed imaging information for neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, facilitating early and accurate diagnosis. In prognostic evaluation, SWI reveals pathological changes related to neurological outcomes, providing essential guidance for clinical decision-making and expectations for patient families. However, interpreting SWI images requires integration with clinical manifestations and other imaging indicators to ensure diagnostic accuracy.
