About this study

Clinical examinations are difficult to discriminate between vegetative state and minimally conscious state. the diagnostic and prognostic usefulness of neuroimaging methods has not been established in a clinical setting. we will do a forward study of PET imaging in disorders of consciousness patients, and validate with clinical assessments with the coma recovery Scale-Revised(CRS-R).

Read the detailed description

Every patient need to be conducted the PET/CT scanning two times.The first time is resting state.The second time is stimulated state by watching a vedio.
