Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a significant public health problem that contributes to a large number of injury-induced deaths each year. MRSI has long been recognized as a powerful tool for detection of neurometabolic alterations induced by TBI; however, most existing MRSI studies of TBI are limited by low resolution which severely reduce the detection sensitivity. In this study, we performed MRSI scans on TBI patients using a newly developed ultrahigh-resolution 1H-MRSI technique. Our experimental study yielded very encouraging results and showed that ultrahigh-resolution MRSI can capture neurometabolic alterations induced by TBI effectively.
