[Abstract] Objective: To detect whether there is any change of apparent diffusion coefficients (ADC) levels in different sites of the brain, particularly in areas associated with the memory, the emotion and the vision in type 2 diabetic patients with retinopathy by measuring diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI).Materials and Methods: Conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and DWI of the brain were obtained from 40 diabetic patients: 20 patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy (group Ⅰ), 20 diabetic patients with simple diabetic retinopathy (group Ⅱ) and 20 age-matched healthy volunteers (group Ⅲ). ADC values of midfrontal gyrus, superior temporal gyrus and cuneate gyrus were obtained.Results: There is no significant difference in routine T1 or T2 weighted imaging between the three group. The ADC values of bilateral midfrontal gyrus and superior temporal gyrus cortex significantly increased in group Ⅰ and Ⅱ compared to group Ⅲ (P<0.05). The duration of disease positively correlated with ADC values of the right midfrontal gyrus in group Ⅰ and Ⅱ.Conclusion: We found increases in ADC values supporting the neuronal degeneration and poptosis in some regions, especially in midfrontal gyrus and superior temporal gyrus by DWI in the diabetic patients with retinopathy. This result supports the association between diabetic retinopathy and brain injury, and with the progression of disease, the brain injury may be further aggravation.
