肌萎缩侧索硬化症 (ALS) 是一种致命的神经退行性疾病,由运动神经元进行性丧失引起。 ALS 患者皮质下白质发生广泛变化。扩散张量成像(DTI)根据质子运动的程度(扩散率,ADC)和方向性(分数各向异性,FA)的变化来检测体内白质纤维的病理变化。 24 名 ALS 患者和 24 名年龄匹配的对照者接受了 1.5T DTI。使用统计参数映射分析 FA 和 ADC。 24 名 ALS 患者中有 15 名在 6 个月后获得了第二次 DTI。皮质脊髓束 (CST) 和额叶区域 FA 的减少证实了现有的结果。通过直接比较基线和后续数据集,可以沿着 CST 和额叶区域捕获 FA 减少所反映的上运动神经元变性的进展。正如功能性 MRI 研究所怀疑的,小脑参与了 ALS 的病理学,这可以通过 FA 的减少来证实(culmen,declive)。这些结构变化与疾病持续时间、ALSFRS-R 以及身体和执行功能密切相关。 DTI 检测到的变化被视为 ALS 的显着特征,因此显示出其作为生物标志物的功能前景。使用本文的技术,我们可以证明随访时 DTI 的变化,这与临床进展密切相关。
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disorder, caused by progressive loss of motor neurons. Changes are widespread in the subcortical white matter in ALS. Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) detects pathological changes in white matter fibres in vivo, based on alterations in the degree (diffusivity, ADC) and directedness (fractional anisotropy, FA) of proton movement. 24 patients with ALS and 24 age-matched controls received 1.5T DTI. FA and ADC were analyzed using statistical parametric mapping. In 15 of the 24 ALS patients, a second DTI was obtained after 6 months. Decreased FA in the corticospinal tract (CST) and frontal areas confirm existing results. With a direct comparison of baseline and follow-up dataset, the progression of upper motor neuron degeneration, reflected in FA decrease, could be captured along the CST and in frontal areas. The involvement of cerebellum in the pathology of ALS, as suspected from functional MRI studies, could be confirmed by a reduced FA (culmen, declive). These structural changes correlated well with disease duration, ALSFRS-R, and physical and executive functions. DTI detects changes that are regarded as prominent features of ALS and thus, shows promise in its function as a biomarker. Using the technique herein, we could demonstrate DTI changes at follow-up which correlated well with clinical progression.
