Magnetic Resonance Imaging Following Single Exposure to Hypobaria and/or Hypoxia
Abstract
Subcortical white matter (WM) injury and global decreased fractional anisotropy are associated with repetitive exposure to nonhypoxic hypobaric conditions, in both aerospace physiology inside observers and high-altitude U-2 pilots. A single hypobaric hypoxic occupational exposure to 7620 meters (5.45 psi) induces magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) changes that reflect transient brain injury.
