[Abstract] Objective: To investigate the abnormal changes of brain function in the hyperacute period (<24 h) patients with mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) by using the amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation (ALFF) in resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI).Materials and Methods: 52 mTBI patients (mTBI group) and matched 21 healthy subjects (control group) underwent rs-fMRI examination. The DPARSF software was used to preprocess the fMRI data, the ALFF was compared between the mTBI and control group.Results: Compared with the healthy control group, the mTBI group showed significantly decreasing ALFF values in cerebellum posterior lobe, right middle occipital gyrus and postcentral gyrus. And the ALFF values increased in bilateral frontal lobe, bilateral caudate,medial frontal gyri and insula.Conclusions: In the case of normal routine MRI findings, ALFF technology showed to be more sentitive in detecting rs-fMRI abnormalities in patients with hyperacute mTBI.
