[Abstract] Cerebral infarction is the most common cerebrovascular disease, and arterial occlusive infarction is the common type. Decreased blood perfusion in the cerebral arterial blood supply area causes a series of pathophysiological changes, including changes in metabolism and chemical environment. Currently, computed tomography (CT) or MRI structural images, and even some conventional functional imaging, are difficult to show acid-base metabolic changes in cerebral infarction. Amide proton transfer (APT) imaging technique can detect the changes of brain metabolites, evaluate the metabolic changes of brain tissue after infarction, and clarify the chemical environment evolution of ischemic tissue. In this paper, we reviewed the progress in arterial occlusive cerebral infarction with amide proton transfer imaging.
