Reduced transverse spinal area secondary to burst fractures: is there a relationship to neurologic injury?

abstract：:Proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-MRS) and neuropsychological assessment were utilized in a longitudinal investigation of traumatic brain injury (TBI) in children. A spectroscopic imaging protocol was implemented, and neurometabolite ratios of NAA/Cre and Cho/Cre were calculated for anterior and posterior hal...
