Abstract:: Abstract: Mild traumatic brain injury is the most common type of traumatic brain injury. However, its underlying neurophysiological mechanism has not yet been fully elucidated, which affects the early diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of patients. A number of novel magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technologies which are emerging in recent years, such as functional MRI, perfusion MRI, diffusion tensor imaging, quantitative susceptibility mapping, T2 mapping, are used to evaluate mild traumatic brain injury. Herein the application of multimodal MRI in mild traumatic brain injury are summarized for understanding the neuropathological mechanism of mild traumatic brain injury from different angles, which is helpful to improve the diagnosis and treatment of mild traumatic brain injury by clinicians.
