Should women born severly premature(micro baby) get a mri to rule out brain malformations before pregnancy? can i ask for one?

Premature infants: Routinely get cranial ultrasounds in the nursery after they are born. Before delivery, neurologic (brain) abnormalities can be identified on your routine prenatal ultrasounds.
