Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) is the most prevalent form of brain injury but the underlying physiological mechanisms are still not fully understood. MRSI has long been recognized as a potentially powerful tool for detection of neurometabolic alterations induced by TBI but most existing studies are limited by low resolution. In this study, we used a 3D high-resolution MRSI technique, known as SPICE, to study neurometabolic alterations in acute mTBI patients. Our experimental results showed various metabolic changes in different areas of patients, which lay a foundation for further investigation to gain new insights into the pathophysiology underlying acute mTBI.
