Diffusion Tensor Imaging is a potential Biomarker for Mild Traumatic Brain Injury
Diffusion Tensor imaging (DTI) is an emerging tool for detecting Mild traumatic brain injury. A new study published Feb 10, 2010 in Neurology, shows that patients with minimal impairments on standard neuropsychological tests, damage is detectable by this technique. The results confirm that signs of injury may persist months after clinical recovery, suggesting DTI may have a place in longitudinal assessment of mTBI patients wider than currently practiced.
