Abstract:
White matter injury and abnormal maturation are thought to be major contributors to the neurodevelopmental disabilities observed in children and adolescents who are born preterm. By using water molecules diffuse technology, diffuse tensor imaging can assess the features of white matter maturation, at the same time, it can reveal the types and mechanisms of cerebral white matter injury.
