Proton MR Spectroscopy and MRI-Volumetry in Mild Traumatic Brain Injury

More than 85% of brain traumas are classified as "mild"; MR imaging findings are minimal if any and do not correspond to clinical symptoms. Our goal, therefore, was to quantify the global decline of the neuronal marker N-acetylaspartate (NAA), as well as gray (GM) and white matter (WM) atr...

description More than 85% of brain traumas are classified as "mild"; MR imaging findings are minimal if any and do not correspond to clinical symptoms. Our goal, therefore, was to quantify the global decline of the neuronal marker N-acetylaspartate (NAA), as well as gray (GM) and white matter (WM) atrophy after mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). Twenty patients (11 male, 9 female; age range, 19-57 years; median, 35 years) with mTBI (Glasgow Coma Scale score 13-15 with loss of consciousness for at least 30 seconds) and 19 age- and sex-matched control subjects were studied. Seven patients were studied within 9 days of TBI; the other 13 ranged from 1.2 months to 31.5 years (average and median of 4.6 and 1.7 years, respectively) after injury. Whole-brain NAA (WBNAA) concentration was obtained in all subjects with nonlocalizing proton MR spectroscopy. Brain volume and GM and WM fractions were segmented from T1-weighted MR imaging and normalized to the total intracranial volume, suitable for intersubject comparisons. The data were analyzed with least squares regression. Patients with mTBI exhibited, on average, a 12% WBNAA deficit that increased with age, compared with the control subjects (p

WBNAA detected neuronal/axonal injury beyond the minimal focal MR-visible lesions in mTBI. Combined with GM atrophy, the findings may provide further, noninvasive insight into the nature and progression of mTBI.</description><identifier>ISSN: 0195-6108</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 1936-959X</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 1432-1920</identifier><identifier>PMID: 17494667</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>United States: Am Soc Neuroradiology</publisher><subject>Adult ; Age Factors ; Aspartic Acid - analogs &amp; derivatives ; Aspartic Acid - metabolism ; Atrophy ; Axons - pathology ; Brain ; Brain - metabolism ; Brain - pathology ; Brain Injuries - metabolism ; Brain Injuries - pathology ; Female ; Glasgow Coma Scale ; Humans ; Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy - methods ; Male ; Middle Aged ; Neurons - pathology ; Protons</subject><ispartof>American Journal of Neuroradiology, 2007-05, Vol.28 (5), p.907-913</ispartof><rights>Copyright © American Society of Neuroradiology 2007</rights><lds50>peer_reviewed</lds50><woscitedreferencessubscribed>false</woscitedreferencessubscribed></display><links><openurl>$$Topenurl_article</openurl><openurlfulltext>$$Topenurlfull_article</openurlfulltext><thumbnail>$$Tsyndetics_thumb_exl</thumbnail><linktopdf>$$Uhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8134347/pdf/$$EPDF$$P50$$Gpubmedcentral$$H</linktopdf><linktohtml>$$Uhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8134347/$$EHTML$$P50$$Gpubmedcentral$$H</linktohtml><link.rule.ids>230,314,723,776,780,881,53766,53768</link.rule.ids><backlink>$$Uhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17494667$$D View this record in MEDLINE/PubMed$$Hfree_for_read</backlink></links><search><creatorcontrib>Cohen, B.A</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Inglese, M</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Rusinek, H</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Babb, J.S</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Grossman, R.I</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Gonen, O</creatorcontrib><title>Proton MR Spectroscopy and MRI-Volumetry in Mild Traumatic Brain Injury</title><title>American Journal of Neuroradiology</title><addtitle>AJNR Am J Neuroradiol</addtitle><description>More than 85% of brain traumas are classified as "mild"; MR imaging findings are minimal if any and do not correspond to clinical symptoms.
