Abstract: A method for detecting blood-tissue barrier breakdown or disruption is provided. The method includes acquiring first image data of a target region of a subject with a predetermined spatial resolution; administrating exogenous or endogenous tracer into the subject; acquiring second image data of the target region with the predetermined spatial resolution after administration of the tracer; differentiating healthy tissue and pathological tissue with blood-tissue barrier breakdown in the target region based on the first image data and the second image data; and visualizing or analyzing the blood-tissue barrier breakdown of pathological tissue based on the differentiation.

Abstract: A system for objectively analyzing medical image data for the presence of diffuse white matter abnormalities (DWMA) is configured to identify and determine DWMA characteristics that are not visually apparent. As compared to subjective visual diagnosis, objectively determined DWMA characteristics may be automatically compared to each other, and may be compared to and associated with various scales, evaluations, or other assessment criteria used to measure aspects of infant development. As a result, the disclosed system may objectively determine an impact that objectively determined DWMA characteristics will have on one or more developmental scales, which can be expressed as a time deficit, score deficit, or other value indicative of development deficits.
