Neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is a major complication of perinatal asphyxia, with high morbidity and morbidity. APT imaging is a potential technique for detecting in vivo characterization of the internal environment during hypoxic-ischemic brain injury. We investigated the feasibility of APT in differentiating neonatal mild HIE from normal age-matched infants, and to explore the changes in the internal environment in neonatal mild HIE. The results indicate that APT imaging for neonatal mild HIE is a useful and feasible technique with diagnostic capability.
