Area of Science:

  • Developmental neuroscience
  • Neuroimaging
  • Human anatomy

Background:

  • Human brain development involves complex structural changes from a simple tubular structure.
  • Detailed anatomical studies of fetal brain development are limited.
  • Histology-based atlases are a recent advancement.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the application of Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) in revealing fetal brain structures.
  • To highlight DTI's utility in understanding developmental processes and detecting abnormalities.
  • To establish DTI as a tool for creating fetal brain atlases.

Main Methods:

  • Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) to measure water diffusion and delineate neural structures.
  • DTI tractography for three-dimensional reconstruction of white matter tracts.
  • Analysis of the primary eigenvector of the diffusion tensor to characterize microstructures.

Main Results:

  • DTI provides high contrasts for establishing fetal brain atlases.
  • DTI enables the delineation of neural structures at macroscopic and microscopic levels.
  • Reconstruction of coherent neural structures like white matter tracts is possible with DTI tractography.

Conclusions:

  • Fetal brain DTI offers unique insights into neural structures during development.
  • The resulting DTI database serves as a guide for developmental neuroscience studies.
  • DTI provides reference standards for diagnostic radiology in premature newborns.
