Preliminary Evidence of Altered Gray and White Matter Microstructural Development in the Frontal Lobe of Adolescents With Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder: A Diffusional Kurtosis Imaging Study

摘要

PurposeTo investigate non-Gaussian water diffusion using diffusional kurtosis imaging (DKI) to assess age effects on gray matter (GM) and white matter (WM) microstructural changes in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) of adolescents with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) compared to typically developing controls (TDC).
