Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging has been used by investigators and clinicians to assess the development of the brain in childhood to understand both patterns of normal growth and patterns by which a maturing brain may deviate from normal. Advanced MR techniques such as diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) have gained prominence as a means of assessing brain development. This review explains the sequence of brain maturation and the means by which DTI can be used to assess it in normal children.
磁共振(MR)成像已被研究人员和临床医生用于评估儿童大脑的发育,以了解正常生长模式和成熟大脑可能偏离正常的模式。扩散张量成像(DTI)等先进的 MR 技术已成为评估大脑发育的一种手段。本文综述了脑成熟的顺序以及 DTI 用于评估正常儿童脑发育的方法。
