Summary
ABSTRACT: Quantitative relaxometry is a promising method for quantifying brain changes with early development and brain tissue differences as a function of genetics, environment or pathology. Relaxometry may be useful for assessing abnormal white matter damage in infants at risk for cerebral palsy, which is the leading movement disorder in children. Head motion is a significant challenge for MRI studies in young children, resulting in image artifacts and errors in quantitative imaging measures. Long and loud scans also adversely affect imaging compliance in young children. Consequently, there
