Until the advent of MR imaging, knowledge of the structure of myelin and the process of
myelination were of little importance to the neuroradiologist. Other than some mild changes …

A retrospective study was made of 60 patients, 1 month to 3 years old, to determine the
normal progression of white matter myelination on MR imaging. All examinations were …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: MR imaging is the method of choice for assessment in
vivo of the development of myelination of the human central nervous system. During the first …

The ability to measure myelin in vivo has great consequences for furthering our knowledge
of normal development, as well as for understanding a wide range of neurological disorders …

White matter myelination is essential to postnatal neurologic maturation and can be
accurately evaluated by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Accordingly, MRI pulse …

This study demonstrates the ability of MR imaging to show progression of myelination in 64
infants and young children (ages 4 days to 36 months). T2-weighted spin-echo pulse …

The unprecedented gray/white differentiation obtained with magnetic resonance imaging
(MRI) has created a unique opportunity to trace the normal process of myelination. Fifty-nine …

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is now considered the imaging modality of choice for the
majority of disorders affecting the central nervous system. This is particularly true for gray …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE MR imaging is a powerful tool for studying the anatomy of
and the developmental changes that occur in the brain. The purpose of this project was to …

The normal process of myelination of the brain mainly occurs during the first year of life. This
process as known from histology can be visualized by MRI. Because of the very long T1 and …
