Summary
This BAPM Framework for Practice addresses the clinical indications and timing for brain MRI in newborn infants within the NHS, beyond the existing guidance for term infants with hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy. It also sets out best practice for the acquisition and reporting of neonatal brain MR images. It is aimed at neonatal clinicians, radiologists and imaging staff involved in requesting, performing and interpreting neonatal neuroimaging.
