Neuroimaging after traumatic brain injury: What best relates to outcome?

脑损伤往往导致身体困难加上认知和行为问题。计算机断层扫描（CT）是脑损伤后最常用的扫描形式，但不如磁共振成像（MRI）显示得多。前庭电描记术（EvestG）也提供了巨大的潜力，以揭示与损伤和抑郁症有关的大脑相关信息。本研究旨在评估和比较CT、MRI和EvestG，以确定每种方法在多大程度上有助于预测脑损伤患者的预后。

Brain injury often results in physical difficulties plus cognitive and behavioural problems. Computerised tomography (CT) is the most used form of scanning used after brain injury but does not reveal as much as Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). Electrovestibulography (EvestG) also offers great potential to reveal brain-related information related to injury and depression. This study aims to assess and compare CT, MRI and EvestG to establish the extent to which each can help in predicting outcome in people who have had a brain injury.
