... on the neurological outcome in preterm infants remain unknown. We compared microstructural brain development in very preterm infants with and without exposure to prophylactic paracetamol by using MR-based diffusion tensor imaging. Materials and Methods: Infants aged <32 gestational weeks born between October 2014...

... fractional anisotropy (FA) and mean diffusivity on diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and developmental outcomes were explored using multivariable linear regression after correcting for gestational age, postmenstrual age at DTI scan, and maternal education level. Results: The FA values of the splenium...

... magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at term-equivalent age. Regional brain volumes and diffusion tensor images were examined using advanced segmentation techniques to acquire quantitative volume measurements, and the JHU neonatal template was used for the atlas-based analysis. We compared these infants...

... factors. Method: Diffusion tensor imaging data were acquired prospectively from 55 preterm neonates without apparent brain abnormalities (mean gestational age: 29.43 weeks) and 21 full-term infants at term-equivalent age. The global structural brain networks were produced by probabilistic white matter...

... and evaluated the effects on growth velocity, head circumference growth and cerebral maturation - the latter by magnetic resonance diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). We hypothesized increased growth velocity, head circumference growth and decreased mean diffusivity (MD) in cerebral white matter (WM) areas...

...So-Yeon Shim; Hye-Jin Jeong; Dong Woo Son; Mira Chung; Sukyoung Park; Zang-Hee Cho Background: Even preterm infants with normal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) results are at greater risk for neuromotor dysfunction. Objectives: Our aim was to compare serial diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) data from...

... outcome in preterm infants. The long-term neurodevelopmental outcome of preterm infants with postnatal cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection has not been studied extensively. Objectives: We aimed to assess WM microstructure in preterm infants with postnatal CMV infection using diffusion tensor imaging. Methods...

...So-Yeon Shim; Hye-Jin Jeong; Dong Woo Son; Joon Sup Jeong; Se Hong Oh; Sung-Yeon Park; Taek-Hyun Ryu; Young-Bo Kim; Zang-Hee Cho Background: Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) reflects the maturation of the brain microstructure. Although preterm infants are at significant risk for altered brain...
