Abstract：Objective: To study the value of susceptibility weighted imaging(SWI) in combination with the diffusion weighted imaging(DWI) in the diagnosis of neonatal intracranial hemorrhage. Methods: A study was conducted including 58 neonates who were suspected neonatal intracranial hemorrhage． All MR examinations were performed at 1．5 Tesla unit including conventional MR(T1WI, T2WI, T2 Flair), SWI and DWI． The imaging features of various sequences were compared, and the results were statistically analyzed. Results: Among 58 neonates with intracranial hemorrhage, 38 cases were confirmed by SWI, only 27 cases were found by conventional MR sequences. Altogether 147 hemorrhagic lesions were detected by SWI, while only 56, 45 and 24 lesions were found by T1WI, T2WI and T2 Flair. Conclusion: SWI sequence has more sensitivity than conventional sequences in detecting the intracranial hemorrhage of neonate. While DWI has more predominant advantage in punctate white matter lesions(PWML). Conventional MRI combined with SWI and DWI functional imaging scanning technology is more helpful to improve the diagnostic accuracy of the neonatal cerebral hemorrhage or cerebral hemorrhage with PWML, and it is helpful to guide the treatment and evaluate the prognosis.
