“…Preterm birth has long-lasting effects on individuals and families, and increased maternal anxiety adversely influences child development [ 129 , 130 ]. Based on data to date, neuroimaging’s predictive capabilities for high-risk infants are inadequate to identify those infants that should be excluded from structured follow-up or those that should be selected for additional therapies [ 131 , 132 , 133 ]. Additionally, the imaging technique with the greatest predictive capacity, MRI, is performed after the acute phase of illness, making it unavailable for counselling parents on limitations of care or support withdrawal [ 134 , 135 ].…”

Advances in neuroimaging of the preterm infant have enhanced the ability to detect brain injury. This added information has been a blessing and a curse. Neuroimaging, particularly with magnetic resonance imaging, has provided greater insight into the patterns of injury and specific vulnerabilities. It has also provided a better understanding of the microscopic and functional impacts of subtle and significant injuries. While the ability to detect injury is important and irresistible, the evidence for how these injuries link to specific long-term outcomes is less clear. In addition, the impact on parents can be profound. This narrative summary will review the history and current state of brain imaging, focusing on magnetic resonance imaging in the preterm population and the current state of the evidence for how these patterns relate to long-term outcomes.
