Change in Mean Transit Time Apparent Diffusion Coefficient and Cerebral Blood Volume during Pediatric Diabetic Ketoacidosis Treatment

摘要

ObjectiveCerebral edema is a devastating complication of pediatric diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). We examined measures describing potential causes of whole brain and regional brain edema [mean transit time (MTT), apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and relative cerebral blood volume (relCBV)] during treatment of DKA in children.
