The independent prognostic value of brain diffusion tensor imaging in comatose patients after cardiac arrest
DTI metrics, particularly the combination of FA and RD, provided outstanding early prediction of good six-month neurological outcomes after cardiac arrest, surpassing traditional biomarkers. These findings supported integrating DTI into multimodal prognostic models to guide clinical decisions and prevent premature withdrawal of life-sustaining therapy.
