Normal Cerebellar Development by Qualitative and Quantitative MR Imaging: From the Fetus to the Adolescent

Marie Brossard-Racine et al. Neuroimaging Clin N Am. 2016 Aug.

Abstract

This article presents an overview of published studies using conventional and quantitative MR imaging to describe normal development of the cerebellum prenatally and postnatally through 18 years of age. Normal cerebellar development and maturational processes are described here within the context of MR imaging morphology, microstructure, metabolism, and functional connectivity. In addition, strengths and weaknesses of these reviewed studies are critically appraised and new directions for future cerebellar MR imaging investigation are made.
