Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is currently the only non-invasive technology available to evaluate the damage to the cerebral white matter (WM) fibers in neonates, which can reflect the occurrence of damage through the decrease of FA values. This study aims to validate the value of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) to diagnose and predict hypoxic-ischemic brain injury (HIBD) of preterm infants to assist clinical diagnosis and treatment.
