Decreased Cerebral Blood Flow in Chronic Pediatric Mild TBI: An MRI Perfusion Study

Year: 2015

Type: article

Study design: Observational Study

Abstract: We evaluated cerebral blood flow (CBF) in chronic pediatric mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) using arterial spin labeling (ASL) magnetic resonance imaging perfusion. mTBI patients showed lower CBF than controls in bilateral frontotemporal regions, with no between-group cognitive differences. Findings suggest ASL may be useful to assess functional abnormalities in pediatric mTBI.
