Abstract:
Objective To observe the variation of dynamic 64-slice CT perfusion imaging of rats with traumatic brain injury and discuss the relating pathophysiological basis.Methods A total of 80 adult male SD rats were randomly divided into three groups according to random number table,ie,normal control group,sham injury group and injury group.The injury group was divided into eight subgroups at time points of 2,6,12,24,48,72,120 and 168 hours.The detection of CT perfusion imaging,water content and blood-brain barrier permeability was done in the injured rats at all time points.The pathological changes were also observed to calculate their correlation with CT perfusion parameters of the injured region.Results The relative value of the blood perfusion was decreased significantly to the mimimum within 24 hours after injury.Within 2-12 hours,relative cerebral fluid(rCBF)and relative cerebral blood volume(rCBV)remained in a low perfusion state,with just a little increase.Relative mean transit time(rMTT)was prolonged and permeability surface(PS)increased.rCBF and rCBV were increased gradually with time,which was reversed till at 24 hours after injury and the injured side was in a high perfusion state,with the highest value of PS.The perfusion reached peak at 48 hours after injury and then became normal gradually.The water content was increased at 2 hours after injury and reached its peak at 48 hours.The permeability of blood-brain barrier(BBB)began to increase at 2 hours after injury and reached the peak at 24 hours.rCBF and rCBV were positively correlated with change of brain edema and PS was positively correlated with BBB permeability.Conclusion The dynamic 64-slice spiral CT perfusion imaging reflects the variation of BBB and edema and can be used as noninvasive imaging method for predicting the degree of brain perfusion and edema.
