Abstract:

Objective: To explore the value of dorsal thalamus ADC value in diagnosis of Hypoxic-ischemic Encephalopathy（HIE）
in newborns of different age in days. Methods: Dorsal thalamus ADC value of 41 cases of neonatal HIE in the first Affiliated Hospital
of Dali University in May 2015 to October 2015 were measured by ANOVA statistical analysis. Results: Dorsal thalamus ADC value of
mild, moderate and serious groups were significantly different. The normal ADC value is lower than mild, the mild ADC value is higher
than moderate group, and the moderate ADC value is higher than serious group. Conclusion: The dorsal thalamus ADC value has
significance in MRI diagnosis of normal, mild, moderate and serious neonatal HIE.

Key words: neonatal HIE, ADC, MRI
