[Abstract] Objective: To evaluate the value of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) in mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI).Materials and Methods: Thirty-five cases of mTBI patients (case group) and 15 healthy controls (control group) underwent taditional MRI and DTI scans. The bilateral white matter of the frontal lobes, bilateral anterior region, the genu and splenium of corpus callosum midline position (a total of 6) were chosen as the region of interest. FA value, ADC value of each region of interest were measured. The FA value, ADC value in all parts of the case group and the control group were statistically analyzed.Results: There was no significant difference between the case group and control group in each part for ADC value. The FA value in bilateral frontal lobe white matter, internal capsule and splenium of corpus callosum were statistically significant between the case group and control group (P<0.05).Conclusions: The value of FA can quantitatively determine the metabolism of water molecules for mild traumatic cerebral. DTI can be used as an objective index, to accurately assess the severity and prognosis of the patients with mild traumatic brain injury.
