Simultaneously PET/MRI in Prolonged DOC Patients

Completed
Conditions
Disorder of Consciousness
FDG-PET
Minimally Conscious State
Rs-fMRI
Interventions
Diagnostic Test: Multimodal Neuroimaging
Registration Number
NCT04164680
Lead Sponsor
Hangzhou Normal University
Brief Summary

Recently introduced hybrid PET/MR scanners provide the opportunity to measure simultaneously, and in direct spatial correspondence, both metabolic demand and functional activity of the brain, hence capturing complementary information on the brain's physiological state. Here we exploited PET/MR simultaneous imaging to explore the relationship between the metabolic information provided by resting-state fluorodeoxyglucose-PET (FDG-PET) and fMRI (rs-fMRI) in patients with disorders of consciousness.
