Association between fetal brain diffusion‐weighted imaging and postnatal neurodevelopmental outcome after prenatal myelomeningocele repair

Ultrasound in Obstetrics &Gynecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Myelomeningocele (MMC) is associated with significant alterations of the brain microstructure, which can impair long‐term neurodevelopmental outcomes. By measuring the random displacement of water molecules within the brain, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)‐based diffusion‐weighted imaging (DWI) can provide objective metrics, such as
