Abstract:
Human myelination begins in the fifth month of fetal development and continues after birth.Myelin development plays a key role in establishing and maintaining information conduction,coordination and communication within the brain,so prenatal quantitative assessment of myelin development is important.In recent years,many MRI techniques for myelin imaging have been developed and implemented,and quantitative MRI assessment of fetal myelin development has received increasing attention.In this review,we discuss the known structural and functional changes in the development of the myelin sheath of the fetal central nervous system,and review the research progress and future expectations of quantitative fetal MRI imaging.
