We have correlated data on neuroanatomical organization and magnetic resonance
imaging of transient fetal zones shown to contain connectivity elements (growing axons …

Fetal MR imaging is an increasingly available technique used to evaluate the fetal brain and
spine. This is made possible by recent advances in technology, such as rapid pulse …

The developing human cerebrum displays age-specific changes in its patterns of lamination.
Among these, the subplate zone is the most prominent transient compartment because …

MRI has been increasingly used for detailed visualization of the fetus in utero as well as
pregnancy structures. Yet, the familiarity of radiologists and clinicians with fetal MRI is still …

Normal fetal brain maturation can be studied by in vivo magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
from the 18th gestational week (GW) to term, and relies primarily on T2-weighted and …

Coakley et al. tially cause acoustic damage to the fetus. Two reports from the United
Kingdom [24, 25] provide reassuring clinical and experimental evidence that the risk of …

2 Introduction data–to place the abnormality assessed within the wider context of
morphogenesis. The symptomatology of imaging–the very core of each chapter–is …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Periventricular white matter (WM) areas are widely
recognized as predilection sites for complex cellular damage after ischemia/reperfusion or …

Purpose Up until the last 10 years, normal cerebral gestational landmarks were assessed by
ultrasonographic and fetopathologic studies. The purpose of this paper is to display the …

In this review, we demonstrate the developmental appearance, structural features, and
reorganization of transient cerebral zones and structures in the human fetal brain using a …
