Premature infants with cognitive delay have a reduction in cerebellar size at term corrected age on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We aimed to determine the level of agreement between postnatal MRI and CS for cerebellar biometry and to determine the level of agreement within one and between different examiners.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n            Study Design\u2003Cerebellar sonography and MRI measurements of the cerebellum from 30 term infants was assessed by Bland\u2013Altman plots. Measurements between both modalities were compared using Wilcoxon's signed rank test. A p-value\u2009&lt;\u20090.01 was considered statistically significant. Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) for intra- and interrater reliabilities of CS measurements were calculated.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n            Results\u2003There was no statistically significant difference between CS and MRI for linear measurements, but the measurements of perimeter and surface area differed significantly between the two techniques. There was a systematic bias between both modalities for most measurements except for anterior\u2013posterior (AP) width and vermis height (VH). For measurements that were not statistically different from MRI, we found excellent intrarater ICC for the AP width, VH, and cerebellar width. The interrater ICC was excellent for the AP width and VH, but poor for the transverse cerebellar width.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n            Conclusion\u2003With a strict imaging protocol, cerebellar measurements of the AP width and the VH can be used as an alternative to MRI for diagnostic-screening purposes in a neonatal department where multiple clinicians perform bedside
