Abstract:
Myelination is the last stage of brain maturation, which begins in the mid-pregnancy and lasts after birth,plays a key role in establishing and maintaining coordinated communication within the brain. MRI quantitative analysis of fetal brain myelin can accurately assess the progress of prenatal myelination and provide quantitative indicators for myelin pathological changes. The research progresses of MR technologies for quantitative evaluation on fetal myelin were reviewed in this article.
