摘要
弥散磁共振成像(Diffusion magnetic resonance imaging,dMRI)是一种通过测量水分子在不同方向上的弥散情况来获取微观结构信息的先进医学影像技术,在临床辅助诊疗中的应用日益广泛.在中医诊疗领域,dMRI技术同样展现了其独特的潜力和价值,为中医"辨证施治"提供了更为客观的依据.在中医诊疗中,dMRI不仅能够帮助医生更准确地诊断疾病,还能监测疾病的发展过程以及治疗效果,为中医"治未病"和"个体化治疗"提供了有力的支持.然而,dMRI技术在中医诊疗领域的应用也面临着诸多挑战.本文集中回顾了近几年dMRI技术在中医诊疗中的应用,并探讨了高级dMRI技术在中医诊疗领域的广阔前景和潜力,同时也讨论了当前dMRI应用的局限性以及dMRI在中医诊疗应用中的挑战.本研究将促进医工交叉,尤其是中医-智能影像技术领域的交流与合作,并推动dMRI技术在中医诊疗中的深入应用和发展.
Abstract
Diffusion magnetic resonance imaging(dMRI)represents an advanced medical imaging modality that yields intricate insights into tissue microstructure by assessing the diffusion of water molecules within biological tissues,which is progressively integrated into clinical practices for diagnosis and treatment.Notably,within traditional Chinese medicine(TCM),dMRI has demonstrated unique potential and significance,providing an empirical foundation for TCM's"differentiation and treatment".Its utility extends beyond precise disease diagnosis to encompass disease progression monitoring and treatment efficacy evaluation,aligning with TCM's principles of"preventive treatment"and"individualized treatment".Nonetheless,the assimilation of dMRI into TCM encounters notable challenges.This review article delves into the recent applications of dMRI within TCM,scrutinizing its prospects and constraints.By fostering interdisciplinary partnerships between medical and engineering disciplines,particularly in the realm of TCM-intelligent imaging technology,this study aims to propel the application and evolution of dMRI within TCM's diagnostic and therapeutic domains.
