The Normal Neonatal Brain: MR Imaging Diffusion Tensor Imaging and 3D MR Spectroscopy in Healthy Term Neonates

摘要

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: There is a lack of normative diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and 3D MR spectroscopy (MRS) data in the early neonatal period. We report quantitative values from a cohort of healthy term neonates to serve as baseline data for studies assessing brain development and injury.
