Diffusion Tensor Imaging is associated with motor outcomes of very preterm born children at 11 years of age
Acta Pediatrica Sep 15, 2019
Lahti K, Saunavaara V, Munck P, et al. - Researchers explored the link between diffusion tensor imaging metrics at term and motor outcomes at 11 years of age. In this cohort of 37 very preterm infants (mean gestational age 29 4/7, SD 2 0/7) born in 2004-2006 in Turku University Hospital had diffusion tensor imaging at term. At 11 years of age, motor skills were associated with the diffusion metrics of the genu and splenium of the corpus callosum, the left corona radiata and the right optic radiation at term. As a potential tool in recognizing children at risk of motor impairment, diffusion tensor imaging should be further studied.
