JO - Egyptian Journal of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine SP - 82 VL - 52 IS - 1 AB - Cerebral palsy (CP) is a group of motor-impairment signs secondary to many disorders that interfere with early brain development and are usually related to white matter injury in children. Most studies are focused on the study of motor tracts, mainly the corticospinal tract (CST). Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is a reliable imaging modality providing an appropriate method of detection of white matter microstructure abnormalities. The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between DTI observed motor CST injury, sensory pathways (thalamic radiations) injury, and motor functions.
