Abstract:Background Major brain injuries in structural brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at term affect concurrent diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) parameters in very preterm infants. White matter is known to gradually maturate along with increasing gestational age, which is characterized by increasing fractional anisotropy (FA) and decreasing mean diffusivity (MD). Purpose To study the difference between DTI parameters at term and 13 years in adolescents born very preterm with and without major pathologies in struc… Show more
