Diffusion MRI Tractography of the Developing Human Fetal Heart
26 Aug 2013
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Human myocardium has a complex and anisotropic 3D fiber pattern. It remains unknown, however, when in fetal life this anisotropic pattern develops and whether the human heart is structurally fully mature at birth. We aimed here to use diffusion tensor MRI (DTI) tractography to characterize the evolution of fiber architecture in the developing human fetal heart. METHODS: Human fetal hearts (n = 5)...
