Synopsis

Keywords: Neuro, Brain

Motivation: Currently, many studies have applied the DKI technique in adults, while fewer studies have applied this technique in children, especially in children with ADHD

Goal(s): Explore the feasibility of applying DKI technology to the brain of children with ADHD

Approach: 72 children with ADHD and 79 age- and sex-matched healthy controls were included in the study. All children were examined by means of 3D-T1weighted image , DKI and conventional sequence scanning

Results: DKI showed abnormal gray matter and white matter development in some brain regions of children with ADHD.

Impact: DKI imaging showed abnormal gray matter and white matter in frontal lobe, temporal lobe, Caudate nucleus and other brain regions of ADHD children. The brain volume of ADHD is lower than that of healthy children.
