Changes in diffusion tensor metrics within 6 h after hypoxic ischemia (HI) in different brain regions in neonatal rats is associated with the final lesion severity after hypoxic ischemia. We also demonstrated that the early changes within 6 h after HI may also correlate to the alteration in ultra-structure in the neurons and axons following the injury.
