The purpose of this article is to use a mechanism-based approach to review the neuroimaging findings of abusive head trauma to infants. Advanced neuroimaging provides insights into not only the underlying mechanisms of craniocerebral injuries but also the long-term prognosis of brain injury for children on whom these injuries have been inflicted.
Knowledge of the traumatic mechanisms, the key neuroimaging findings, and the implications of functional imaging findings should help radiologists characterize the underlying causes of the injuries inflicted, thereby facilitating effective treatment.
本文旨在采用基于机制的方法来回顾婴儿虐待性头部外伤的神经影像学发现。高级神经影像学不仅提供了对颅脑损伤的潜在机制的深入了解，还提供了对遭受这些损伤的儿童脑损伤的长期预后的了解。
了解创伤机制、关键神经影像学发现以及功能影像学发现的意义，应有助于放射科医生描述所造成损伤的潜在原因，从而促进有效的治疗。
