Traumatic brain injury is a major cause of death and disability. This is a brief report based on a symposium presentation to the 2014 Chinese Neurotrauma Association Meeting in San Francisco, USA. It covers the work from our laboratory in applying multimodal MRI to study experimental traumatic brain injury in rats with comparisons made to behavioral tests and histology. MRI protocols include structural, perfusion, manganese-enhanced, diffusion-tensor MRI, and MRI of blood-brain barrier integrity and cerebrovascular reactivity.
创伤性脑损伤是死亡和残疾的主要原因。这是一份基于在美国旧金山举行的2014年中国神经创伤协会会议上的专题报告。它涵盖了我们实验室将多模态磁共振成像应用于研究大鼠实验性创伤性脑损伤的工作,并与行为测试和组织学进行了比较。磁共振成像方案包括结构成像、灌注成像、锰增强成像、扩散张量成像以及血脑屏障完整性和脑血管反应性的磁共振成像。
