Preterm and term neonates are at high risk of intestinal
motility disorders. In older children and adults, cine
MRI has proven useful in diagnosis and management of
intestinal motility disorders. However, the standard
technique includes breath holding and oral bowel
preparationprocedures that cannot safely or practically
be applied to neonates. In this study, cine MRI was
obtained to assess intestinal motility in a cohort late
preterm and term neonates. The qualitative and
quantitative analysis of the motility data were
consistent with that reported for adults, demonstrating
cine MRI as a viable method to assess intestinal
function in neonates.
