FANNP 24TH NATIONAL NNP SYMPOSIUM: CLINICAL UPDATE AND REVIEW A11b From Polaroid to Digital Photography: How to Interpret Neuroimaging Michael D. Weiss, MD Associate Professor Department of Pediatrics, Division of Neonatology University of Florida, Gainesville, FL The speaker has signed a disclosure form and indicated he has no significant financial interest or relationship with the companies or the manufacturer(s) of any commercial product and/or service that will be discussed as part of this presentation. Session Summary This session will provide an overview of neuroimaging. Bedside cranial ultrasound will be covered in both the term and preterm neonate. MRI will be reviewed pertaining to HIE and term corrected. The optimal timing of imaging will be discussed, as well as the outcome data which can be obtained. Session Objectives Upon completion of this presentation, the participant will be able to: understand an overview of IVHs; identify the two major staging systems for IVHs; compare the advantages and disadvantages of CT scans; understand the basics of MRI; explain cases as examples of abnormal MRIs.
