[Abstract] Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a common life-threatening disease, while cerebral edema is the main factor affecting the mortality and subsequent functional recovery of TBI. Different types of edema usually require different clinical treatments, and vasogenic edema is the main form. Conventional magnetic resonance sequences are limited in their ability to identify the type and extent of edema. With the increasing innovation of MRI functional sequences, various functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies have their own unique characteristics in the study of vasogenic brain edema after TBI. Relevant studies have applied fMRI sequences such as diffusion weighted imaging, diffusion tensor imaging, free water diffusion tensor imaging and diffusion kurtosis imaging, and achieved satisfactory results. Other fMRIs, such as magnetization transfer and susceptibility imaging, have also shown their due role in this field. This article concludes and summarizes the MRI research progress of vasogenic brain edema after TBI, in order to provide an updated and more comprehensive theoretical basis and examination methods for the prevention, treatment and prognosis of vasogenic brain edema after TBI.
