and enlargement of certain parts. But it does not provide information about brain activity. Another method is Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). It produces a strong magnetic field in which the person’s head is positioned. The radio waves directed at the brain cause the hydrogen atoms to emit signals‚ which are analyzed by a computer. The details of the MRI are superior to CAT scan‚ because it can distinguish between closely related brain structures. Due to its importance‚ you might think the

This injury is most common in preterm babies but can still happen in full term babies as well. 75% of preterm babies with Periventricular Leukomalacia will have some kind of disability. Many people do not know what causes this‚ how this is diagnosed‚ what the treatment is and the outcome of the infants affected by this. This paper will give insight to what causes
