Diffusion tensor imaging in patients with post-stroke depression / 国际脑血管病杂志

ABSTRACT

Post-stroke depression (PSD) will seriously affect the recovery and outcome of patients with stroke. Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) can not only show the course and integrity of nerve fiber bundles, but also quantitatively show the changes of white matter in the brain. Studies have shown that the occurrence of PSD is associated with white matter lesions and stroke sites, but the specific sites involved are still controversial. This article reviews the application of DTI in patients with PSD.
