MRI is particularly valuable for its high-resolution images and ability to differentiate between various soft tissues without using ionizing radiation. It is preferred for:
- Neurological Imaging: Evaluating brain development, detecting hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, and identifying congenital brain malformations. - Musculoskeletal Imaging: Detailed assessment of bone marrow, joints, and soft tissues, which is crucial for diagnosing congenital anomalies and infections. - Abdominal Imaging: Providing intricate details of abdominal organs, which can be critical for diagnosing complex congenital anomalies and tumors.
