Abstract

Purpose: To evaluate the white matter fiber configuration in various developmental CNS anomaly 대상 및 방법: Jubert Syndrome, congenital schizencephaly, callosal agenesis and hemiplegic cerebral palsy patients were evaluated by diffusion tensor MRI. All studies were performed using a 1.5T Philips Gyroscan Intern system. Diffusion weighted imaging was performed using single-shot echo planar imaging, with navigator echo phase correction and SENSE. Diffusion weighting was performed along six independent axes, using diffusion weighting of b=600s/$\textrm{mm}^2$. 128 matrix/zero filled to 256, 23cm FOV, 3mm slice thickness were used for imaging parameters. Data were processed on a Window-2000 PC equipped with IDL and PRIDE (Philips Medical System).
