Abstract:
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is one of the leading causes of death and disability worldwide,particularly in young adults.Conventional imaging modalities such as CT or MRI can show most of the morphological changes of the brain in TBI.PET/CT and PET/MR can acquire both functional and morphological images compared with CT or MRI alone,which might be helpful for the diagnosis,management and prognosis evaluation of TBI.This review summarizes the applications of PET imaging in TBI patients.
