The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between the remaining corticospinal tract (CST) as determined by diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and 6-month motor outcome in patients with pontine infarct. Ratios of fractional anisotropy (FA), fiber number (FN), and CST area were calculated, and the FN ratio and CST area ratio showed significant correlation with all 6-month motor outcome. Thus, the remaining CST in the pons measured using DTI at early stage of stroke could predict motor outcome in patients with pontine infarct.
本研究的目的是探讨弥散张量成像（DTI）测定的脑桥梗死患者剩余皮质脊髓束（CST）与6个月运动结局之间的关系。计算了分数各向异性（FA）、纤维数量（FN）和CST面积的比值，FN比值和CST面积比值与所有6个月运动结局均显示出显著相关性。因此，在卒中早期使用DTI测量脑桥中剩余的CST可以预测脑桥梗死患者的运动结局。
