[Abstract] Neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is characterized by high mortality, many sequelae, and poor prognosis, early assessment of neurological development of HIE is of great value in diagnosis, treatment, intervention, and improvement of prognosis. MRI is currently the most valuable imaging tool for assessing the prognosis of HIE helping to predict the early and long-term neurodevelopmental outcomes of HIE. This paper aims to explore the research progress of new MRI technologies, such as diffusion-weighted imaging, diffusion tensor imaging, diffusion kurtosis imaging, magnetic resonance spectroscopy, amide proton transfer imaging, arterial spin labeling, resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging, radiomics, and deep learning in the prognosis evaluation of HIE.
