	abstract = {Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) is often used to study brain maturation processes and white matter (WM) injuries in premature newborns. However, DTI assumes that water diffusion in biological tissues is free. In reality, there is always structural hindrance in WM, which only increases with age due to myelination. Diffusional Kurtosis Imaging (DKI) relaxes the assumption of free diffusion and allows estimation of conventional diffusion parameters plus new kurtosis measures, which are related to tissue complexity. In this work, we present and discuss the first statistics of DKI parameters in WM of two prematurely born infants.},
