PDFAbstract
Objective To discuss the imaging features of radiation-induced brain injury. Methods A retrospective analysis of 31 cases of radiation-induced brain injury in our hospital has been carried out. The MRI features were analyzed according to the open and closed ring, the tension and morphology changes of the ring,ASL-CBF perfusion and the DWI signal analysis. Results ①4 cases showed closed ring with tension. 23 cases with closed loop ring with no tension, 4 cases with open ring. ②26 cases presented low perfusion, perfusion in 1 case and edge part high perfusion in 4 cases. ③Rings of 17 cases reduced with time while 11 enlarged and 3 cases had no change. Besides,9 cases had no morphological changes while 22 cases had. ④DWI signal:high signal of 11 cases is located in the inner ring, 17 cases showed high signal and 3 cases were like patchy high signal. Conclusion The CBF present low perfusion in MRI mostly; The brain damage caused by brain external lesions showed the DWI high signal is located in the inner enhancement ring, it can increased with time, but the shape didn't change.
