Abstract

Abstract:

Accurate assessment of residual brain function in patients with disorders of consciousness (DOC) is of great importance for the diagnosis, therapeutic treatment, and prognosis for them. In recent years, with the development of brain science, the neuroimaging technologies represented by positron emission computed tomography, functional magnetic resonance imaging, functional near-infrared spectroscopy, and electroencephalography have greatly promoted the detection and evaluation of the brain functional activity of the patients with DOC. This paper reviews the brain function assessment techniques for the patients with DOC.

Key words: Disorders of consciousness, Positron emission computed tomography, Functional magnetic resonance imaging, Functional near-infrared spectroscopy, Electroencephalogram
