Diffusion MRI (dMRI) offers unique insights into the microstructure of fetal brain tissue in utero. Longitudinal and cross-sectional studies of fetal dMRI have the potential to reveal subtle but crucial changes associated with normal and abnormal neurodevelopment. However, these studies depend on pr...
