Figure 2From: Serial prenatal and post-natal brain MRI demonstrates impact of congenital heart disease and cardiac surgery on brain growth and maturityBrain maturation in common cyanotic congenital heart disease. (A) T2 and ADC values show high degree of correlation. T2 (r=-0.79, p < 0.0001) and ADC (r=-0.7, p < 0.0001) also correlated with brain volume. (B) T2 and ADC values decrease as the brain matures producing a net daily negative change. Children with TGA physiology have highest incidence of positive rate of change suggesting more immature brains among common CHD types.Back to article page
