T2 relaxometry brain MRI could be of prognostic value in preterm infants. The maturation patterns of periventricular white matter differed according to neurodevelopmental outcomes. T2 relaxation values over mid-body periventricular white matter at > 1 month old of corrected age could predict CP. T2 relaxometry brain MRI provides neuroimaging-outcome correlation among preterm infants, especially when interpreted with age-specific and area-selective considerations.
