Abstract：Patients with severe traumatic brain injury often survive in vegetative state, and show a significant difference in the prognosis. The level of consciousness in these patients decides whether the clinical treatment and home care for them to be continued or not, thus it makes great sense in the diagnosis of the type and degree of disorders of consciousness. The degree of brain dysfunction can reflect the level of consciousness, PET/CT quantitatively shows the change of brain function and corresponding residual activity area by using radioactive tracer, and further provides the clinical objective evidence for the diagnosis and prognosis assessment. Then this article will make a summary on the research progress of PET/CT about residual brain’s function and diagnosis of disorders of consciousness in traumatic brain injury.
