TBI is a serious and global public health issue. Fluid
percussion injury in rats is a commonly used animal
model simulating traumatic brain injuries. In this
study, we investigated the metabolic changes by MRS,
structural changes using DTI in hippocampus and changes
in microvasculature by SWI in FPI based mild and severe
TBI. Neuronal loss, membrane disruption is observed in
mild and severe injuries by MRS. The structural changes
and micro-vessel damage was observed by DTI and SWI
respectively. The combined imaging and spectroscopic
assessment provides valuable markers for investigating
structure and metabolism in mild and severe injuries.
