Longitudinal development in the preterm thalamus and posterior white matter: MRI correlations between diffusion weighted imaging and T2 relaxometry
Infants born prematurely are at increased risk of adverse neurodevelopmental outcome. The measurement of white matter tissue composition and structure can help predict functional performance. Specifically, measurements of myelination and indicators of myelination status in the preterm brain could be predictive of later neurological outcome. Quantitative imaging of myelin could thus serve to dev...
متن کاملCharacterization of white matter fiber bundles with T2* relaxometry and diffusion tensor imaging.
In this study, diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and T(2)* multiechorelaxometry were combined in 30 healthy subjects at 3T, with the aim of characterizing the spatial distribution of relaxation rates in white matter (WM). Region of interest (ROI) analysis was performed in 23 different fiber tracts automatically defined in standard space. Spearman rank analysis was performed on regional values of T...
متن کاملWhite Matter Tractography and Diffusion-weighted Imaging
Human cognition requires coordinated communication across macroscopic brain networks. This coordination is fundamentally constrained by how populations of neurons are connected together. Understanding how structural connectivity between brain regions constrains or predicts variability within and between individuals is a pervasive topic of cutting edge research in neuroscience and the focus of m...
متن کاملDiffusion-weighted imaging of the brain in preterm infants with focal and diffuse white matter abnormality.
OBJECTIVE The most common finding on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain in preterm infants at term-equivalent age is diffuse excessive high signal intensity (DEHSI) in the white matter. It is unclear whether DEHSI represents a biological abnormality. This study used diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) to compare apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values in DEHSI with infants with norm...
