MRI Imaging Omics and Risk Factors Analysis of PWMD in Premature Infants Based on Fuzzy Clustering Algorithm

The magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) characteristics of periventricular white matter damage (PWMD) in premature infants using the fuzzy c-means clustering algorithm (FCM) is explored, and the influencing factors are further clarified. A total of 100 premature infants admitted to the neonatal department of our hospital from February 2020 to February 2022 are selected for in-depth investigation. According to the occurrence of PWMD, they are divided into the PWMD group and the simple premature delivery group, with 50 cases in each group. All preterm infants are examined by MRI and the changes in image characteristics and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values are analyzed. Clinical information of the subjects is collected and the influencing factors of PWMD in preterm infants are analyzed by multivariate regression analysis. In the first magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination, the cases of punctured, clustered, and linear lesions are 28 cases, 12 cases, and 10 cases, respectively. The experimental results showed that PWMD of preterm infants presented punctate, clustered, and high linear T1 signal MRI manifestations, which caused a downward trend of ADC value, and caused respiratory distress, low birth weight, premature rupture of membranes, respiratory tract infection, and other risk symptoms.
