Normal white matter development from infancy to adulthood: Comparing diffusion tensor and high b value diffusion weighted MR images

To evaluate the sensitivity of high b value diffusion weight magnetic resonance imaging (DWI) in detecting normal white matter maturation, compare it to conventional diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), and to obtain normative quantitative data using this method.
