Figure 1: Cerebral Blood Flow Maps

Caption

This figure represents the cerebral blood flow (CBF) maps, corresponding anatomical image aligned to the CBF map, and the regions of interest examined. The scale indicates the quantitative value of the CBF map and is expressed in mL/100g/min. The data are from a preterm infant scanned at term age without evidence of brain injury. The insula (see black arrows in panel 'D') may be particularly vulnerable to the added stresses of the preterm infant's life outside the womb.
