Abstract:Blast-related traumatic brain injury (bTBI) induced by explosive blast wave is the most common event on the battlefield.Most of the patients are characterized as mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI).The traditional clinical imaging couldn′t detect the pathological changes in the brain.Also,the functional significance of this type of injury remains controversial.In recent years,some new technology can sensitively detect the minimal abnormality in the injured brain tissues.Thus,it is valuable in the diagnosis of mTBI.In this paper,we summarized the new advancement of diagnosis for mTBI induced by explosive blast wave.
