It is known that MR diffusion tensor imaging can detect white matter developmental abnormalities, including developmental delays [2] [3]. In this study, we evaluated the developmental white matter disorder induced by prenatal X-ray exposure using diffusion tensor imaging. Fractional anisotropy (FA) maps calculated from the diffusion tensor images were compared to a histological study of myelination staining (LFB, Luxol fast blue)., ISMRM 19th Annual Meeting}, title = {Diffusion tensor imaging for evaluation of radiation-induced developmental abnormalities in the white matter}, year = {2011} }
