Traumatic Brain Injury Imaging: Diagnosing Concussions (Drs. Michael Zeineh and Max Wintermark)

The clinical diagnosis of concussion is complicated. We are developing new imaging methods to diagnose subtle manifestations of traumatic brain injury. These advanced imaging techniques, which includes diffusion tensor imaging, perfusion imaging and resting state functional MRI, will help diagnose concussion in athletes, in our military personnel, but also in pediatric patients involved in contact sports.
