Abstract

Objective To investigate the application value of diffusion tensor imaging on evaluating patients with mild head injury. Methods A total of 102 cases with mild head injury in our hospital were selected as mild group, 102 cases with moderate-severe head injury were selected as moderate-severe group, 102 physical examinees at the same period were selected as control group, they were all given magnetic resonance DTI detection, ADC, FA of the two groups were compared. Results ① FA value in frontal white matter, endocyst, temporal lobe white matter, splenial callosum of the mild group were higher than those in the moderate-severe group and control group, the difference between groups was statistic significant (P<0.05). ② ADC value at each observed area of the mild group was lower than that in the control group and higher than that in the moderatesevere group, the difference was statistic significant (P<0.05). Conclusion Magnetic resonance DTI detection can clear and definite injury of brain tissue, and it is worthy of clinic application.
