扩散张量成像在新生儿缺氧缺血性脑病中的应用

目的 探讨扩散张量成像(DTI)在新生儿缺氧缺血性脑病(HIE)中的应用价值.方法 选取确诊为HIE的足月新生儿37例,正常足月新生儿12 例,应用3.0T磁共振仪对所有研究对象均行常规MRI序列和DTI序列扫描.采用单因素方差分析方法,对HIE组与正常组新生儿头颅感兴趣区(ROI)测得各向异性分数(FA)值进行统计学分析.内囊后肢FA值与新生儿神经行为测定(NBNA)评分采用线性分析,计算相关度.结果 内囊后肢、胼胝体压部的FA值在HIE轻度组、中度组、重度组与对照组比较差异有统计学意义(P<0.05);额叶中央白质、丘脑的FA值在HIE重度组与对照组比较差异有统计学意义(P<0.05);豆状核的FA值与对照组比较差异无统计学意义(P>0.05).内囊后肢FA值与NBNA评分(12~14 d;26~28 d)呈明显相关性(r=0.96,P<0.05;r=0.87,P<0.05).结论 DTI技术可对早期HIE脑损伤进行评价,并在预后评价方面中有重要应用价值.

Diffusion tensor imaging of neonates with hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy

Objective To explore the application of diffusion tensor imaging(DTI) in neonates with hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy(HIE).Methods 37 cases of full-term neonates diagnosed as HIE by pediatricians and 12 normal neonates were selected.All subjects underwent MRI and DTI at 3.0 Tesla.The correlation of FA value in posterior limb of internal capsule and neonatal NBNA score was examined.Results The FA values in posterior limb of internal capsule, splenium had significant difference between the HIE group (mild group, moderate group, severe group) and control group (P<0.05);in central white matter of the frontal lobe, thalamus had significant difference between HIE severe group and control group (P<0.05);in nucleus of the bean had no statistic difference between the HIE group (mild group, moderate group,severe group) and control group (P>0.05).The FA in posterior limb of internal capsule and NBNA score(12-14 d;26-28 d)showed significant correlation (r=0.96,P<0.05),as well as the sequelae shape (r=0.87,P<0.05).Conclusion DTI is promising for early diagnosis of anisotropic index changes to evaluate HIE brain damage and prognosis.
