[Abstract] With the continuous development of magnetic resonance imaging technology, arterial spin labeling (ASL) technology could be used to measure and evaluate cerebral blood flow perfusion, and has been gradually applied in clinical practice. ASL technology has the unique advantages of safety and non-invasive, which is suitable for the diagnosis and prognosis evaluation of brain development and injury in premature infants, and provides medical imaging basis for early diagnosis and treatment. Therefore, this article reviews the clinical research status and progress of ASL technology in early diagnosis of common brain injury in premature infants.
