Quantitative Fiber Tracking in the Corpus Callosum and Internal Capsule Reveals Microstructural Abnormalities in Preterm Infants at Term-Equivalent Age

Abstract

We have shown that in the CC bundle, anisotropy was decreased and diffusivity was increased in infants with high WMI scores. A relation of PLIC with WMI was also shown but was less pronounced. Brain maturation is affected more if birth was more premature.
