Radiology of the premature infant is a relatively new specialty in medicine. Most complications of intensive care in the premature infant are radiologically recognizable, and therefore are frequently first detected by the radiologist. Complications of umbilical catheterization and of pulmonary and cardiovascular systems, alimentary tract, skeletal system, and central nervous system are considered. Radiation exposure and cost of intensive care are also discussed.
