Fig 2. T1-weighted image (TR/TE, 550/14; signals acquired, 2; matrix, 205/256; section thickness, 5 mm; section gap, 0.5 mm; FOV, 16 cm) of a neonate from the control group imaged at 2 days of age. The image shows higher SI in the posterior limb of the internal capsule (arrowhead) than in the posterolateral putamen (arrow). The child was a term-born neonate with a simple lumbar meningocele. At the age of 5 years, this child has a normal development (outcome group 1).
