Fig. 4.

The relationship between thalamus/basal ganglia apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) ratios and time of MRI based on hypothermia therapy and Sarnat classification (left) and based on hypothermia therapy and outcome (right). Infants with severe encephalopathy had lower thalamus/basal ganglia ADC ratios than infants with moderate encephalopathy (left). Furthermore, infants with therapeutic hypothermia had lower ratios, indicating a larger difference between basal ganglia and thalami (right).
