Abstract:
Cerebral white matter damage is the most common form of brain injury in premature infants,which is the main cause of neurological and mental injury and cerebral palsy.Imaging examination plays an important role in the diagnosis and follow-up of white matter damage.Because of the safe and accurate characteristics,nuclear magnetic resonance has become the most common imagine form.Different from the traditional nuclear magnetic resonance technique,diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) can get quantitative analysis of cerebral white matter fiber bundle in vivo.This technology has become a powerful tool for the evaluation of white matter damage.The article summarizes the application of DTI in the neurodevelopmental evaluation of cerebral white matter damage in premature infants.
