Research Abstract |
《DTI study》Twenty adult patients with mild to moderate traumatic brain injury (TBI) underwent diffusion tensor imaging. Fractional anisotropy of TBI was significantly lower than control in genu, stem and splenium of corpus callosum. Furthermore, reduction of fractional anisotropy in splenium and frontal white matter in acute stage was significantly associated with long-term cognitive dysfunction of mild to moderate traumatic brain injury.《perfusion MRI study》Arterial spin labeling (ASL) is an emerging technique for noninvasive measurement of cerebral perfusion. Twenty patients with carotid stenosis underwent cerebral blood flow (CBF) and vasoreactivity quantification by ASL to determine the utility of ASL in patients with cerebrovascular diseases. CBF and vasoreactivity by ASL agreed with SPECT. Furthermore, ASL could detect pathologic states, equivalent to SPECT. However, ASL tended to overestimate CBF values especially in high-perfusion regions. As a conclusion, ASL perfusion MR imaging is clinically applicable.
