## Abstract ## Background: Friedreich ataxia (FRDA) is the commonest form of autosomal recessive ataxia. This study aimed to define the extent of the brain damage in FRDA patients and to identify in vivo markers of neurodegeneration, using diffusionβweighted imaging (DWI). ## Methods: We studied
## Abstract A method of performing diffusionβweighted imaging (DWI) and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) of the fetal brain in utero is proposed. The major difficulty of performing diffusion imaging in utero is the presence of motion. By modifying conventional singleβshot spinβecho echoβplanar DWI wi
