Role of diffusion tensor imaging in predicting the outcome of motor function in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage / 国际脑血管病杂志

ABSTRACT

Stroke is the leading cause of death in Chinese Residents. Intracerebral hemorrhage accounts for 10-20% of all stroke, and the degree of nerve function damage is often more severe than that of ischemic stroke. The corticospinal tract injury is an important mechanism for motor function defect after stroke. Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is the only functional magnetic resonance imaging to noninvasively detect white matter tracts, which can objectively evaluate the degree of fiber bundle damage. This article reviews the role of DTI in predicting the outcome of motor function in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage.Stroke is the leading cause of death in Chinese Residents.
