Evaluation of Corpus Callosum Anisotropy in Young Adults with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Using Diffusion Tensor Imaging (bibtex)
by X. Ma, C. D. Coles, M. E. Lynch, S. LaConte, X. Hu
Abstract:
Diffusion tensor imaging was used to evaluate the corpus callosum diffusion anisotropy in six normal volunteers and five patients with fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS). A decreased fractional anisotropy (FA) along with an increased apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) were observed in the corpus callosum in FAS patients compared with those in normals. Our results illustrate that DTI could be used in evaluating the integrity of corpus callosum in FAS patient. The diffusion anisotropy, represented by FA, may have the potential to be used as a clinical marker in the diagnosis of FAS and for assessing the severity of this disease.
