TL;DR
Results suggest that in neonates and infants, water diffusion is highly dependent on both subject age and brain location.

Data indicate that diffusion-weighted MR images more accurately reflect early-onset pathophysiologic changes induced by acute cerebral ischemia than do T2- Weighted spin-echo images.
RadiologyNormal maturation of the neonatal and infant brain: MR imaging at 1.5 T.
738 Citations1988A. James Barkovich, B O Kjos +2 more
The pattern of normal white-matter maturation as demonstrated with high-field-strength magnetic resonance (MR) imaging was investigated, showing that changes of brain maturation occur in an orderly manner, commencing in the brain stem and progressing to the cerebellum and the cerebrum.

470 Citations2000Barkovich Aj
Only by understanding the physiologic properties and structure of myelin can the authors use MR imaging to its fullest capacity for studying patients with myelin disorders, and this will be critical to using MR imaging techniques optimally to diagnose and study these disorders further.

461 Citations1998K.J. van Everdingen, Jeroen van der Grond +3 more
DWI is a better imaging method than conventional MRI in detecting early ischemic lesions in stroke patients and Lesion size as measured on DWI scans and the apparent diffusion coefficient are potential parameters for predicting clinical outcome in acute stroke patients.

217 Citations1991Hajime Sakuma, Yuki Nomura +6 more
In neonates, diffusional anisotropy of white matter, in which no myelination was shown on T1- and T2-weighted images, was weak, and was more distinct after brain maturation, as observed in adult white matter.

Findings at proton MR spectroscopy helped predict long-term neurologic outcomes in children after central nervous system injury.

158 Citations1999Richard L. Robertson, Liat Ben‐Sira +6 more
After global hypoperfusion, LSDI showed deep gray matter and perirolandic white matter lesions before conventional MR imaging, suggesting LSDI may underestimate the extent of injury, however, these findings may have implications for acute interventions.
PubMedDiffusional anisotropy of the human brain assessed with diffusion-weighted MR: relation with normal brain development and aging.
135 Citations1994Yuki Nomura, Hajime Sakuma +4 more
Diffusion-weighted images demonstrated that the myelination process starts earlier in the occipital lobe than in the frontal lobe, and the changes of diffusional anisotropy in white matter are completed within 6 months after birth.

A noncomparative retrospective analysis of existing sedation protocols used in 1,158 children between the ages of 1 day and 18 years, checking for safety and efficacy found sedation was successful in 97% of patients.

The mean D(av) of the human brain is nearly constant throughout most of adulthood, which may help in the diagnosis of diseases that affect the elderly and that cause structural changes in the brain.

89 Citations2000Steven F. Tanner, Luca A. Ramenghi +7 more
Values of D(av) are known to decrease in neonates and young infants in the period immediately after ischemic insult, and this decrease and the associated increase in signal intensity seen on diffusion-weighted imaging have been used to monitor isChemic brain injury in neonate and infants.

86 Citations2000Kirsten Forbes, James G. Pipe +1 more
The sensitivity of diffusion-weighted imaging in detecting neonatal HIE appears to be affected by the pattern of ischemic damage, with a lower sensitivity if the deep gray matter is affected as compared with isolated cerebral cortex involvement.
Journal of Child NeurologyDiffusion and Perfusion Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Childhood Stroke
47 Citations2000David G. Gadian, Fernando Calamante +7 more
It is shown that the combination of T2-weighted and diffusion images can provide information about the timing of stroke events in childhood, and perfusion imaging can detect abnormalities not visible by other magnetic resonance imaging techniques.
