Synopsis

Keywords: Neuro, Trauma

Motivation: Are the different prognosis of pediatric spinal cord injury (SCI) patients related to differences in brain structure and function? The research on this project has a good guiding significance for prognosis prediction and advanced intervention treatment.

Goal(s): To search for sensitive imaging indicators that can predict neurological outcomes in pediatric SCI patients.

Approach: Voxel-based morphometry (VBM) and fractional amplitude of low-frequency fluctuations (fALFF) were used to analyze the differences of brain structure and function in children with and without neurological improvement.

Results: The medial temporal gyrus may be used as neuroimaging biomarker to predict the prognosis of pediatric SCI.

Impact: MTG can be used as neuroimaging biomarker to predict the prognosis of children with SCI , providing imaging support for clinical stimulation of related brain regions to improve the probability of neurological improvement.
