PURPOSE To analyze diffusional anisotropy in frontal and occipital white matter of human
brain quantitatively as a function of age by using diffusion-weighted MR imaging. METHODS …

Diffusional anisotropy of human brain was investigated clinically in six adult volunteers,
eight premature neonates, and three infants aged 5-10 months. Diffusion-weighted magnetic …

PURPOSE: To evaluate differences in white matter diffusion properties as a function of age
in healthy children and adolescents. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Echo-planar diffusion …

PURPOSE: To establish quantitative standards for the directionally averaged water apparent
diffusion coefficient (D) and quantitative diffusion anisotropy (A sigma) of normal brains in …

PURPOSE: To establish quantitative standards for age-related changes in diffusion
restriction of cerebral white matter in healthy children and to compare data with results in …

Fig. 1.—Conventional and diffusion-tensor MR images from newborn boy of 26 weeks'
estimated gestational age. Single arrows= occipital horns of lateral ventricles. A, Axial T1 …

The properties of water diffusion in human brain tissue can be characterized by diffusion
tensors computed from diffusion weighted magnetic resonance images. Since these …

Purpose: This study was designed to compare the sensitivity of T1-and diffusion-weighted
images for the assessment of brain maturation in human brains. Methods: T1-and diffusion …

PURPOSE: To evaluate the normal brains of adults and neonates for regional and age-
related differences in apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and fractional anisotropy (FA) …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: We used quantitative diffusion MR imaging to investigate
the microstructural changes that occur in white matter during normal aging in order to …
