(A) Coronal T2 weighted FSE image of an infant at 25 weeks GA showing the unmyelinated white matter as high signal intensity and the cerebral cortex as low signal intensity. The germinal matrix is shown as low signal intensity around the head of the caudate nucleus (arrowhead), and low signal bands representing migrating glia are shown within the white matter (arrow). (B) TransverseT2 weighted FSE image at the mid-ventricular level of an infant at 25 weeks GA showing the germinal matrix as low signal intensity (arrows). (C) TransverseT1 weighted FSE image at the mid-ventricular level of an infant at 25 weeks GA showing the germinal matrix as high signal intensity (arrows).

(A) Transverse T1 weighted image at the mid-ventricular level showing cystic PVL as areas of low signal within the cerebral white matter posterior and anterior to the lateral ventricles (arrows). (B) Transverse T2 weighted FSE image at the mid-ventricular level showing the cystic lesions as high signal intensity (arrows). (C) DWI image showing areas of restricted diffusion around the lateral ventricles as high signal intensity (arrows). (D) T2 weighted FSE image of the same infant at 40 weeks GA showing squared off posterior horns of the lateral ventricles (arrows) and diminished white matter posteriorly. Cystic lesions are shown anterior to the anterior horns of the lateral ventricles (arrowheads).
