Traumatic brain injury is a common cause of death worldwide, affecting mostly young people. The most feasible examination to be performed in the emergency room is computed tomography. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is becoming a significant tool in the evaluation of severe brain trauma. Diffusion-weighted imaging is an advanced MR imaging sequence that has been used to detect areas of ischemia and tumor malignancy. This article describes the recent advances in trauma based on diffusion-weighted MR imaging findings and in brain injury from head trauma based on diffusion-weighted MR imaging and diffusion tensor MR imaging findings. Current and potential clinical applications are discussed.
创伤性脑损伤是全球范围内常见的死亡原因，主要影响年轻人。在急诊室进行的最可行的检查是计算机断层扫描。磁共振成像（MR）在严重脑外伤的评估中已成为重要工具。弥散加权成像（DWI）是一种先进的 MR 成像序列，已用于检测缺血和肿瘤恶性区域。本文描述了基于弥散加权 MR 成像结果的创伤和基于弥散加权 MR 成像和弥散张量 MR 成像结果的头部创伤脑损伤的最新进展。讨论了当前和潜在的临床应用。
