Diffusion-weighted imaging has contributed to our understanding of fetal and neonatal brain development. This article will review the role of diffusion-weighted imaging and diffusion tensor imaging in fetuses and neonates, focusing primarily on normal brain developmental processes and then on pathologic processes that can be characterized using diffusion tensor imaging.
