[Abstract] Objective: occipital cortex proton magnetic resonance spectrum of cerebral concussion patients with absolute quantification (1H-MRS) study, to investigate the changes of cerebral metabolites of brain concussion.Materials and Methods: The trauma of mild cerebral concussion, accord with the clinical diagnosis of the disease in 36 cases studied, 10 healthy volunteers as control group, routine MRI scan and 1H-MRS examination. The main metabolites observed index is N-acetyl aspartic acid (NAA), choline (Cho), creatine (Cr), absolute concentration of metabolites by LCModel software, NAA, Cr, Cho concentration, and NAA/Cr, the ratio of Cho/Cr.Results: compared with control group, the concentration of brain concussion group NAA, NAA/Cr decreased, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05), Cho concentration and Cho/Cr ratio increased slightly, no statistical significance.Conclusions: 1H-MRS can reflect the changes of cerebral metabolites in patients with concussion of brain.
