Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy can lead to lifelong morbidity and premature death in full-term newborns. Here, we aimed to determine the efficacy of diffusion kurtosis (DK) [mean kurtosis (MK)] and diffusion tensor (DT) [fractional anisotropy (FA), mean diffusion (MD), axial diffusion (AD), and rad...
