摘要

We evaluate the degeneration of the corticospinal tract (CST) and the corticobulbar tract (CBT) separately in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) patients by tract-specific fractional anisotropy (FA) measurement using diffusion tensor tractography (DTT). Thirty patients with ALS [11 bulbar-onset patients (ALS-B) and 19 limb-onset (ALS-L)] and 17 healthy age-matched controls were recruited. A diffusion tensor echo-planar image with 13 axes was obtained using 1.5-T MR imager. DTT of the corticospinal tract (DTT-CST) and the corticobulbar tract (DTT-CBT) were projected from a seed at the posterior limb of the internal capsule to a target at the superior precentral gyms (DTT-CST) or at the inferior precentral gyrus (DTT-CBT). FA was calculated at serniautomati-cally placed regions-of-interest (ROIs) and averaged in each tract. We measured central motor conduction time (CMCT) and cortical-brainstem conduction time (CTX-BS CT) recorded from the first dorsal interosseous (FDI) muscle. FA of DTT-CST and DTT-CBT of the patients were significantly reduced compared with those of the controls. FA of DTT-CBT was significantly lower in ALS-B than in ALS-L. CMCT and CTX-BS CT showed a significant negative correlation with the FA of DTT-CST, but not with DTT-CBT. DTT is a feasible method to quantitate individual descending motor tract damage in ALS.
