BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Preterm birth interferes with regular brain development. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of prematurity on the physical tissue properties of the neonatal brain stem using a quantitative MR imaging approach. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 55 neonates (extremely preterm [n = 30]
