弥散张量成像应用于电针治疗脊髓损伤评价的展望

Diffusion tensor imaging applied in assessment of electric acupuncture treatment of spinal cord injury

磁共振弥散张量成像是近些年发展起来的一种新的成像技术．通过神经组织中水分子的弥散特性，定量反映白质纤维束的完整性及各种病变，从而在微观水平对脊髓损伤（SCI）进行更加精确的评价。本文围绕磁共振弥散张量技术在电针治疗SCI中的应用情况及研究进展综述如下。

Magnetic resonance diffusion tensor imaging has been developed to a kind of new imaging technology in recent years; through the nerve tissue diffusion properties of water molecules, it can quantitatively reflect the integrity of white matter fiber tracts and various kinds of pathological changes, thus achieving accurate evaluation of spinal cord injuries at the micro level. In this paper, the technology of magnetic resonance diffusion tensor imaging in the application of electroacupuncture treatment of spinal cord injuries and research progress are summarized and prospected.
