J Neurosurg Pediatr
July 2008
Department of Diagnostic and Interventional Imaging, 2 Pediatrics University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, Houston, TX, USA.
Object: Patients with spina bifida (SB) have variable intellectual outcomes. The authors used diffusion tensor (DT) imaging to quantify whole-brain volumes of gray matter, white matter, and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), and perform regional quantitative microstructural assessments of gray matter nuclei and white matter tracts in relation to intellectual outcomes in patients with SB.
Methods: Twenty-nine children with myelomeningoceles and 20 age- and sex-matched children with normal neural tube development underwent MR imaging with DT image acquisition and assessments of intelligence.
