White matter characteristics in children with cerebral palsy prior to selective dorsal rhizotomy: a multicenter diffusion tensor imaging study.

In brief

This multicenter study uses diffusion tensor imaging to characterize white matter microstructure in children with cerebral palsy before selective dorsal rhizotomy and explores correlations between white matter properties, gross motor function, and spasticity levels. Findings may help identify neuroimaging biomarkers for surgical candidacy and outcome prediction in spastic CP.
