Abstract:
Diffusion tensor imaging is currently the best noninvasive technique to assess microstmctural changes in white matter pathways,which enables quantitative assessment of brain normal structures,brain development and lesions by calculating the apparent diffusion coefficient,fractional anisotropy,relative anisotropy and parallel diffusivity,etc.In order to improve the study on neonatal brain injuries,the application of diffusion tensor imaging in neonatal fields was reviewed in this paper.
