Magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) is a technique used to form images of anatomical and physiological processes. On the other hand, MRI images by the diffusion tensor are based on measurements of the diffusion water along different directions, these measurements allow to calculate the diffusion tensor. Apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) is a measure of the magnitude of diffusion of water molecules within a tissue. Fractional anisotropy (FA) shows the direction of the diffusion. In this way, from a sample of 34 patients, the values of the fractional anisotropy and the diffusion apparent coefficient were obtained, from the areas classically associated with language, with the goal to future studies will allow to document and standardize his values in the developing pediatric brain and to detect abnormalities in patients with specific language disorders.Magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) is a technique used to form images of anatomical and physiological processes.
