MRI Identifies Markers of Atypical Brain Development in Children Born Preterm

Caption

Example triple turbo spin-echo brain MRI scans in (A) neurotypically developing and (B) atypically developing extremely preterm–born adolescents. Proton density (PD)–weighted, T2-weighted, and T1-weighted images are provided. MRI scans in the atypically developing participant demonstrated qualitatively smaller white and gray matter volumes and nearly indistinguishable tissue contrast compared with the neurotypically developing participant.
