Structural characterization of white matter (WM)
maturational processes from mid-fetal stage to normal
time of birth is critical for understanding not only the
normal development of WM tracts but also the clinical
implications associated with abnormal WM development
such as PVL. With high resolution DTI of early
developing brains at 20wg, 35wg and 40wg, establishment
of population-averaged age-specific template, WM
skeleton extraction and DTI-based tractography of
individual WM tracts, we aimed to understand the
spatiotemporally heterogeneous microstructural and
macrostructural development of individual WM tracts,
including myelination, axonal packing and volume growth,
from mid-fetal stage to normal time of birth.
