White Matter Microstructural Abnormalities in Children With Spina Bifida Myelomeningocele and Hydrocephalus: A Diffusion Tensor Tractography Study of the Association Pathways

摘要

PurposeTo quantify microstructural abnormalities in the major association pathways of children affected by spina bifida myelomeningocele (SBM) and shunted hydrocephalus using whole-brain diffusion tensor imaging (DTI).
