Diffusion Kurtosis Imaging of Microstructural Alterations in the Brains of Paediatric Patients with Congenital Sensorineural Hearing Loss

Abstract Our aim was to assess microstructural alterations in the cerebrums of paediatric patients with congenital sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) using diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI). Seventy-two paediatric SNHL patients and 38 age-matched healthy volunteers were examined via DKI using a 3.0 T...
